SPONSORED | philipmorrisza What is “harm reduction” — and could it work for tobacco?
By switching to smoke-free products you can reduce the harmful negative impact of your habit on yourself, others and even the environment, says UnSmoke SAThrough Unsmoke SA, Philip Morris SA aims to share accurate information about the science behind smoke-free alternatives.Changes to regulations and advances in science and technology have changed the way we live. Using these advances to reduce the negative effects of our potentially harmful behaviour is known as"harm reduction".
For instance, it's well known that there’s danger in exposing yourself to too much sunshine. While the safest option of all may be to never sunbathe, there are many innovations from sunglasses to sunscreen that are designed to make this activity safer. That’s harm reduction.Emissions from petrol and diesel cars are known to be damaging to the environment, but driving is an inescapable part of modern life. Electric vehicles bypass the burning of fossil fuels, resulting in lower emissions.
These smoke-free alternatives, which include e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products and snus, do not burn tobacco and should emit fewer and lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to the smoke producedIf enough adult smokers around the world switch to smoke-free alternatives, Unsmoke SA believes we can go further faster in addressing the public health impact of smoking
