The need for a comprehensive framework

Addiction. 2017 Jan;112(1):22-24. doi: 10.1111/add.13600.

Abstract

To facilitate individual and population-level behavior change, we need policies based on science. We must develop coherent policies that explicitly consider the benefits and risks of different classes of nicotine delivery products, rather than continuing the current ad-hoc approach which fails to adequately address the product itself.

Keywords: Cigarette industry; e-cigarettes; framework; public health; tobacco control; vaporized nicotine products.
