Part 2: Complex problems, clumsy solutions and the court of public opinion
Time: 10:15 - 10:30
Date: 2024 Thursday 5th December
The debate on the role of e-cigarettes in the UK and across the world has continued to evolve as trend data on vaping and smoking accumulates. Participants on all sides of the debate feel strongly about the lens they look through. Bringing people together toward a consensus view and proportionate regulation requires the use of the best current evidence available. The RCP report “ E-cigarettes: An Evidence Review’ published in 2024, examines the literature on numerous complex issues related to vaping including safety, efficacy, industry and regulation to make over 50 recommendations on how best to use e-cigarettes to treat tobacco dependency and discourage use amongst people who do not smoke, especially young people.
