On Wednesday, October 30, Catania will host the 2024 CoEHAR conference dedicated to the "annual results of the research on tobacco harm reduction". Among the international guests who will join…
Prof. Riccardo Polosa, CoEHAR founder, participated in the GTNF 2024 edition in a panel dedicated to real-world evidence and their application in the research in the tobacco harm reduction field.…
A new review conducted by CoEHAR researchers, and a pool of international experts analyzed the studies evaluating electronic cigarette emissions, confirming low levels of potentially harmful compounds, such as carbonyls,…
The exclusive use of ECs or HTPs may be associated with reduced dental plaque and calculus accumulation compared to conventional cigarette smoking, suggesting a potentially less harmful impact on oral health. These findings could be particularly compelling for smokers concerned about dental hygiene and related issues such as bad breath.
"This forum is not just about addressing the smoking problem, but also about encouraging a comprehensive approach in public policy, advocacy, public education, and support for solutions that are lower risk and practical for adult smokers" said Ariyo.
“It is important to know that the cause of the health impacts of smoking is actually caused by combustion and TAR, not nicotine itself. This alternative represents a way to avoid the dangerous consequences of burning and contributes to the reduction of risks due to smoking” said Polosa.
This collection seeks studies using evidence synthesis methodologies to examine the impact of institutions on tobacco elimination in low- and middle-income countries and indigenous communities.
Catania, April 29, 2024 - This morning, as part of the April graduation session of the Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology at the University of Catania, four more theses on the…
But how much would harm reduction and the reduction of smoking-related diseases affect international health policy strategies? Would there be fewer hospital admissions without conventional cigarette smoke? The answer will be provided by questionnaires administered to over 3000 hospitalized patients whose smoking habits and potential use of non-combustion products will be analyzed to assess the causes of hospital admission and the subsequent outcomes of the diseases identified.
The data from these works as a whole can be used to assess the impact in terms of risk/benefit ratio of the regular use of combustion-free products, assisting the efforts of public health authorities in encouraging smokers to quit, especially those who perceive their smoke-damaged smile as a barrier to personal health or work and social relationships.
