The GFN is the only international conference to focus on the role of safer nicotine products that help people switch from smoking. Safer nicotine products include e-cigarettes (vapes), oral tobaccos such as Swedish snus, and ‘heat-not-burn’ tobacco products. This is a rapidly evolving area, with many new non-combustible products emerging over the past ten to fifteen years.
The rapid development and use of safer nicotine products raises a number of challenging scientific questions about their safety, who uses them and why, and the impact on smoking. These products also raise challenges for governments who seek to understand what kind of policy and regulation is appropriate. The GFN examines the rapidly developing science in relation to nicotine and its use, including policy and regulatory responses.
¿Es la Nicotina Adictiva? Harvard realizó un estudio con animales en 2015 para determinar la adicción a la nicotina. Para su sorpresa no consiguieron que ningún animal se hiciera adicto a la nicotina estricta en el agua. Así que los investigadores solicitaron documentos de las empresas tabacaleras y en los documentos se enteraron de que los fabricantes de productos del tabaco se dieron cuenta en los años 70 de que nadie volvería a comprar «cigarrillos light», así que tuvieron que averiguar cómo hacer que los productos del tabaco fueran adictivos. Harvard se enteró en 2015 de lo que hicieron los gigantes del tabaco para que los productos del tabaco y la NICOTINA fueran adictivos. Añadieron una sustancia química llamada Pirazinas que es altamente adictiva y lo han estado haciendo desde entonces. La nicotina no es la sustancia adictiva en los productos del tabaco, los productos químicos de pirazina hacen que la nicotina sea adictiva. Las pirazinas son sólo uno de los 600 productos químicos aprobados que la FDA permite a los fabricantes de tabaco añadir a sus productos en los EE.UU. Me pregunto cuáles son las otros. Aquí hay un enlace al estudio de Harvard y artículos que discuten sus conclusiones de que la nicotina no es adictiva.

Seems l8ke there is a lot of things that's being said is followed by " we just don't know" . Things also are possible. So, is there anything that is actually known?
Alex Wodak nails it. Those in power must resort to disinformation and misinformation campaigns, as their arguments are weak, and the sciences do not back their misinformation. Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos further nails it, their ideology is not about helping people quit smoking, it's about those in power wanting to see a nicotine-free world. "They have failed." As Farsalinos points out, they are depriving those who smoke of effective ways to quit smoking, with vastly less risky products. Their positions for those in power, Gates, Bloomberg, WHO, etc, is costing lives.
I have been smoke free my whole life, I am now in my mid 40s and have tried nicotine spray in desperation, because I have been suffering with anxiety and low mood and having trouble being focused, I am shocked at how effective a few sprays have been for me. Now I understand how smoking was so addictive for family with high stress jobs.
I started using Nicotine patches April 20 2024 and within a week I was heading into remission from RA. Climbing stairs got easier and pain was gone and I could eat anything. I was not taking pharmaceuticals. I was in remission for 6-8 weeks. My RA was stress related and the stress of my husbands shoulder surgery sent me back into the throes of RA. Now 8 weeks later I’m still trying to play w patches to get back into remission.
Based on what I've read, one concern I have is that nicotine breaks down collagen -- even if taken by way of patches or gum. Or does it? I wish I knew for certain, because I like nicotine, but I really care about skin health and elasticity.
If about 10-12mg of nicotine is in each cigarette then companies could lower the amounts by 0.2-0.5mg because in the end smokers don't want to be too addicted and it would make for better health.
Thank you Kiran Sidhu for giving consumers a voice. We appreciate you. Thank you Brent for continuing to deliver expert coverage on this most important topic.
Accident of history - nicotine stops the impact of Covid-19 'variants'. I'm not even a smoker. Check it out while you can. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R27sDuGFxtU.html
That's right. Lots more uses for nicotine other than spraying crops. Now they say well done steaks gives you cancer. Everything gives you cancer, there's no cure, there's no answer.
I've used tobacco everyday since I was 15. I'm now 70 and smoking the very finest premium cigars. I'm always dealing with low blood pressure but that's mainly because I only eat once a day. You have to eat to maintain blood pressure. Added nitrates is what skyrockets BP which is the opposite of what we are told. The food industry would go out of business with no nitrates. Nitrates break down into chemicals called nitrosamines. These nitrosamines can increase your risk of cancer. Everyone that I knew that quit tobacco something went terribly wrong with their health and some didn't make it. I think in many cases nicotine acts like chemotherapy which is a poison as well. Cancer can't live in all that poison. However, lungs full of smoke is a death wish. I always dipped snuff, chewing tobacco, and smoked cigars and pipes. Never inhaled. Never been a cigarette user.
Great information nicotine is not addictive the FDA did not tell the truth. I started using the nicotine patch. I did this for the health benefits. I have not smoked for 28 years.Smoking causes cancer due the addictive chemicals in these cigarettes. Tomatoes and potatoes, cauliflower and egg plant have nicotine it is in soil. So glad the truth is coming out on nicotine,
I always thought of all the real dangers of substances like alcohol and other toxic drugs and wondered why there was not a safe recreational drug and I am conviced now that it is nicotine in it's pure form and it appears to not only be harmless, but beneficial in many ways.
Why is this even a question? Do we consider children when it comes to a whole array of other adult activities? Such as with alcohol, as just one of a great many examples. Groups like the GFN need to stop pandering to the anti-smoking fanatics. It would be better to actual promote the many health benefits of nicotine; expose the anti-smoking lobby and its bunk studies; and expose the scandal of wholly unfair, unscientific, and disproportionate tobacco taxation.
Until you realize that flavor bans are meant for adult smokers and don't exist in candies 🍭 (that actually harm the health of children). That flavor curiosity mostly apply for experimentation and not daily use, mostly driven by actual smoking. That teens are curious but not loyal customers making them a bad target for any industry plot, but bans are a very good fiscal plot to maintain smoking rate at a lucrative level for a bit more time.
If they "ban" vaping outdoors in wide open spaces I will simply just ignore it. Such complete nonsens. Imagine the complete waste of money and time to enforce it😊 I guess they would't employ any "Dampfgestapo"😅
Clive always hits the nail on the head. Prohibition lobbyists never factor in those who benefit from safer nicotine products. The millions of adults who use them as a safer alternative to continued smoking. Who buy regulated products from legal avenues. What prohibitionists do is create illicit markets, which in turn sell to minors.
