London: Knowledge-Action-Change My assessment of tobacco harm reduction • Safer nicotine products can replace smoking • This can happen quickly • Indicates an appetite, among smokers, for safer, attractive and suitable alternatives to cigarettes • These trends have happened mainly without public health endorsement or government support • An end to smoking may be achievable but not an end to nicotine use • ‘Smoking cessation’ repositioned from medical ‘treatment’ to pleasurable experience • From stigma and guilt to guilt-free enjoyment of nicotine • Self-help approach to switching from smoking Consumer advocacy organizations Opposition to tobacco harm reduction Public Health and Tobacco Control caught off- guard and left behind Predominantly a ‘threat’ narrative No public health from PH and Tobacco Control thought workforce vision leaders. E-cigarettes - of tobacco harm reduction • Undermine anti-smoking policy potential • Encourage young people to smoke/become nicotine addicts • Prolong smoking, delay quitting • Normalise smoking • No evidence for effectiveness • A tobacco company plot • Abstinence the best option • Instead seek professional help, use ‘proven’ therapies Similarity in ‘threat’ + ‘fear’ narratives Narrative HIV and drugs HR - Smoking and Needles and E-cigarettes syringes Undermines Undermines anti- Undermines anti- drugs policy smoking policy Gateway Encourages (young) Encourages young people to inject, use people to smoke drugs Prolongs/ Prolongs addiction Prolongs smoking increases and delays and delays quitting recovery Normalises Normalises Normalises smoking injecting, drug use Abstinence Abstinence is the Abstinence is the ambition best option best option Tobacco harm reduction, international treaties and human rights • Framework Convention on Tobacco Control 2005:Art 1d: “A range of supply, demand and harm reduction strategies that aim to improve the health of a population by Human rights, eliminating or reducing their consumption of tobacco the right to products and exposure to tobacco smoke”. • European Social Charter 1965: “Everyone has the right to health, benefit from any measures enabling them to enjoy the smoking and highest possible standard of health attainable”.

  • 1 Select Committee on Tobacco Harm Reduction Department of The
    Select Committee on Tobacco Harm Reduction Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] November 4th, 2020 A Name-Withheld Submission to The Select Committee on Tobacco Harm Reduction Dear Committee Members, I am currently a regular vaper who successfully used vaping to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes about four years ago. I am male, 58 years of age and happily married with three adult children in their early twenties. Like many of my generation, at a youthful 13 years of age, I picked up a tobacco smoking habit that was considered very sophisticated and grown up at the that time. The committee will of course be aware that smoking was still very widespread from the 1950s to the late 1980s until the manufacturer’s outright fraudulent defence and dangers of this product started to attract the attention of Health & Legal Regulators around the world. In 1995 on the birth of my first daughter I stopped drinking alcohol on a whim and felt great. This was instant and easy to do and has certainly contributed to my good health in my late 50s along with sensible diet and light exercise. Shortly after this I made my first attempt at quitting smoking and this was to be a pattern that would be repeated many times from 1995 through to 2016. Throughout this period I used every method from cold turkey, champix, gum, patches and hypnotism. The experience of attempting to quit tobacco was completely different to quitting drinking. The addictive urges were far stronger, the triggers were more powerful and the habitual sensation of a cigarette between the fingers, the drawback and exhale as well as the olfactory appeal of smelling cigarette smoke amazingly held a vice like grip into my brain pleasure centres.
