We recently hosted an enlightening webinar on Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) with two leading voices in the field, Kurt Yeo from Vaping Saved My Life and Martin Cullip from the Taxpayers Protection Alliance. This discussion offered invaluable insights into the science, purpose, and impact of THR strategies in South Africa and worldwide.

For policymakers and advocates alike, the webinar emphasised THR’s critical role in reducing smoking-related harm.

Kurt and Martin broke down the misconceptions surrounding nicotine and highlighted the potential of alternative products, such as e-cigarettes, as safer options for smokers. With restrictive policies on these products emerging worldwide, understanding their role in public health has never been more urgent.

Watch the recording below to explore how THR policies could make a difference and consider how these approaches could complement existing tobacco control measures. Let’s continue the conversation on how to responsibly and effectively promote harm reduction globally for better health outcomes.

This article was written with assistance from AI technology based on the YouTube webinar.
