Panel Discussion and Q&A: How do we balance treatment for tobacco dependence and the desire for recreational use of nicotine?
Time: 15:00 - 15:20
Date: Thursday 16th November 2023
- Should we be using public money to support people who use nicotine products across the spectrum to quit?
- What are the pros and cons of the “prescription only model” for e-cigarettes, as proposed and enacted in other counties?
- Why is harm reduction a recognised tool for many societal issues, but so controversial in tobacco control?
- Have vaping and THR debates facilitated or distracted from the focus on ending the smoking epidemic?
- Has the UK approach targeted the right people with the right message?
