Bari, Polosa: β€œRisk reduction to fight atherosclerosis”

β€œHowever, it is important to understand a fact when talking about smoking: even today, nicotine is believed to play a major role in the developing of atherosclerosis” explains prof. Polosa β€œNicotine does not cause atherosclerosis. In a survey conducted by SERMO on 1000 Italian doctors, it was found that 62 percent of the sample still think that atherosclerosis is caused by nicotine. The fact that 33 percent of the sample is made up of cardiologists is significant".

Cochrane: Some medicines and e-cigarettes can help people to quit smoking

According the authors, for every 100 people, 10 to 19 are likely to quit using an e-cigarette; 12 to 16 using varenicline; and 10 to 18 using cytisine. This is compared to the 6 in 100 people likely to quit when using no medicine/e-cigarette or placebo. People using two forms of nicotine replacement therapy at the same time, for example, a combination of nicotine patch and nicotine gum, seemed to have similar rates of quitting to people using e-cigarettes, varenicline and cytisine.

CoEHAR members raised concerns on South Africa drafted bill on smoking

"We read with interest the proposed draft bill and we are appreciative of the key contributions this Bill will make in relation to the contrast of tobacco smoking. However, we are concerned that the current draft will restrict less risky options for people who would benefit from using these products to quit smoking. Bringing regulatory parity between cigarettes and non-combustible alternatives (like e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, oral nicotine/tobacco pouches) will further discourage smokers from trying alternatives – something that should be actively encouraged given that South Africa has high smoking prevalence and low successful quitting rate"
