“Nos dirigimos a ustedes para expresar el día de hoy nuestra profunda preocupación con respecto al proyecto de ley 218/19 que recientemente fue pasado por el senado colombiano.

“The new regulations fly in the face of harm reduction principles, specifically that the government should regulate products based on their risk to consumers. We know from credible health agencies like Public Health England that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking, which calls into question Alberta’s approach. Rather than enact heavy handed restrictions, it would be wiser for Alberta to follow the United Kingdom’s lead and embrace harm reduction. Embracing harm reduction gives adult smokers a means to quit cigarettes, which is a huge win for public health.”

Ottawa, ON –  A new study has been published titled “From Smoking to Vaping” which evaluates public policy and how following the UK’s lead on harm reduction can result in a significant reduction in smoking. Specifically, the study evaluates current smoking and vaping rates and estimates how many people could make the switch with changes in public policy. If Canada were to follow the UK’s lead, we could reasonably see a reduction of 475,000 smokers.
