The use of the drug combined with an innovative vaping cessation counseling program was safe and effective for quitting e-cigarettes. The combined approach also decreased the chances of relapsing back to vaping and smoking.
During the 2023 edition of the GFN, a pool of international diabetologists, coordinated by CoEHAR, addressed the issue of cigarette smoking among diabetes patients, setting new international treatment guidelines to be published soon.
In May, CoEHAR has launched one of its most ambitious project, the Veritas Cohort study. Now, more than 400 people from 27 different countries are involved and numbers keep increasing.
GFN 2023 will start tomorrow at Varsavia. The 10th edition of the Global Forum on Nicotine, from 21 to 24 June, will host more events dedicated to harm reduction research. During this edition will be also the second meeting of SAB Diasmoke. Diabetologists and experts on THR signed the guidelines on the treatment of smokers with diabetes.
Aim of the trip was to conduct and perform further technical training of the partners on biological endpoints and dissemination of Tobacco Harm Reduction mission and research.
“It is a fact that in Italy there are millions of smokers who are unwilling or unable to quit smoking – explained prof. Riccardo Polosa, founder of CoEHAR - These smokers do not accept to be medicalized because of their smoking habit and in Italy, even today, we do not have a health policy that takes care of these people. Risk reduction is the solution.
