12:30 pm Achieving Tobacco Harm Reduction Through a Controlled Off-Ramping Journey
- E-cigarettes have been demonstrated to be more effective in promoting smoking cessation compared to NRT and medication
- Currently in the UK, e-cigarette nicotine strength is capped to 20mg/ml. Many smokers find this ineffective in cravings relief
- The MAA pathway allows manufacturers to gain authorization to sell e-cigarettes with nicotine strength over 20mg/ml
- Significant harm reduction can be achieved by manufacturers offering licensed products over 20mg/ml
- This can help de-escalate the nicotine dose to consumer product sub 20mg/ml levels
- The creation of bespoke off-ramping journeys for smokers, with medical supervision during the doses most associated with the high potential for abuse liability provides manufacturers with new, impactful opportunities in the UK market, and provides smokers with a more effective means to stop smoking
