There are people who do not want to quit smoking and others who can not. It is for these categories that it
is necessary to have smokeless nicotine alternatives. The Global Nicotine Forum is being held in Liverpool these days and has brought impressive data regarding smoking.
Tobacco harm reduction experts are discussing the importance of smoke-free alternatives to quitting, which for many people have marked a better quality of life in the event of non-smoking, eventually replacing traditional cigarettes.
Sweden, the country with the lowest level of lung cancer in the world, is also one of the countries
where smoke-free smoking is most preferred. And yet, in Sweden it is women who consume
up to 20% more traditional cigarettes than men.
"The only thing Swedish men can teach Swedish women is to use smokeless products," joked chemist Miroslav Dworniczak. "Because men use more snus."
Snus is a chewable type of tobacco traditionally used in Sweden. It is one of
the first attempts of mankind for smokeless tobacco, since the times when science had not yet proven how
harmful smoke is. Cigarette smoke, which is released by combustion, contains about 7 thousand substances, of
which about 100 are harmful. Therefore, science has found ways to avoid smoke by creating
products with heat.
In the 21st century, when we expect technology and science to have advanced so much as to
leave the cigarette in oblivion like an old habit, the reality remains that not everyone in the world is offered
the same opportunity to quit smoking .
"Tobacco control methods are working, but only in developed countries," said Charles Gardner, CEO of the International Nicotine Consumer Network. little opportunity or willingness to leave. ”
E në fakt, edhe në vendet e zhvilluara si Shtetet e Bashkuara, të ashtuquajturat kategori të
margjinalizuara duket se lihen pas dore kur vjen fjala për reduktimin e dëmit të cigareve.
40% e njerëzve me çrregullime të shëndetit mendor në Shtetet e Bashkuara janë ndezës të rregullt të
cigareve. Mes njerëzve të cilët vuajnë nga skizofrenia, 75% janë tymosës. Folësit e Forumit Global të
Nikotinës argumentojnë se është koha për gjithëpërfshirje edhe për këto shtresa, jo vetëm për njerëzit e
favorizuar nga situata e tyre sociale.
"But it's not just people with mental disorders. There are also low-income people, the homeless, people who are narcotics users… it is also a matter of social justice. But these people are not stupid. We also need to give them information through which they can make a choice. "Information should not be directed only at white men like me," Gardner said.
