Join us for the 16th Open Science In Brief event titled ‘’Science-Driven Policies: The Key to Better Outcomes’’ on April 10 at 4:00 p.m. CEST. Our expert panelists will discuss how science-driven policies can complement existing tobacco control measures and accelerate the decline in smoking rates. Mark your calendars and CLICK ATTEND. Current tobacco control policies were designed decades ago when the market for tobacco and nicotine products was vastly different. Health authorities worldwide have made substantial investments in preventing smoking initiation and promoting smoking cessation through various measures, such as public awareness campaigns and regulatory and fiscal strategies. These have undoubtedly had an impact in reducing smoking rates globally, but not as much as expected. There are still around 1 billion smokers worldwide. This number has not meaningfully changed in decades and based on current trends is not expected to change in the near future. #OpenScience #ProductRegulation #TobaccoPolicy #ScienceRegulation 

With its National Action Plan Against Smoking, Greece is committed to tobacco harm reduction while ensuring public health protection. The country stands out as the first European Union member to permit scientifically substantiated claims related to the reduced health risks of smoke-free alternatives.

Different regulatory approaches can lead to different outcomes. Both Australia and New Zealand initially took a restrictive approach in regulating all tobacco and nicotine products. However, New Zealand then implemented a risk proportionate approach, contributing to New Zealand’s adult daily smoking rate declining at a much faster rate than Australia’s.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the marketing of 20 oral nicotine pouch products, concluding that these products meet the regulatory standard by providing adult smokers and smokeless tobacco users a less harmful alternative. Prior to that, snus became the first smoke-free tobacco product to receive both Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) and Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) authorization with reduced-risk claims in November 2015 and October 2019, respectively.

Science-driven policies should complement existing tobacco control measures to accelerate the decline in smoking rates. There are now different innovative ways of consuming nicotine that do not involve burning tobacco and have been scientifically substantiated to be less harmful than smoking. Agnieszka Wyszyńska-Szulc provides insight into why current tobacco control policies are no longer working effectively.

Innovation should be encouraged by progressive regulatory frameworks. Different countries have taken different approaches in regulating smoke-free products. Some countries regulate smoke-free products the same as combustible products and some countries take different approaches. With novel products and new technologies, regulation should adapt at a fast pace. In the next few weeks, we explore the regulatory landscape in New Zealand, Greece, and the U.S., to name a few. Stay tuned! #ScienceBasedRegulation #ProductRegulation #RegulatoryApproach #ProductPolicies

We are thrilled to go live with our expert panelists in a week from now, on April 10 at 4:00 p.m. CEST, in the Open Science event ‘’Science-Driven Policies: The Key to Better Outcomes.’’ If you haven’t done so already, then CLICK ATTEND and ask YOUR QUESTIONS in event chat 👉 http://spr.ly/6040FVfTj Thanks to science and innovation, there are now different ways of consuming nicotine that do not involve burning tobacco and have been scientifically substantiated to be less harmful than smoking. It is important that tobacco control policies are designed to support these alternatives as viable options to cigarettes. Our expert panelists will discuss how science-driven policies can complement existing tobacco control measures and accelerate the decline in smoking rates.
