SCOHRE and other THR associations on THR
SCOHRE believes that smoking control strategies should be reshaped to include harm reduction. Although smoking cessation and prevention remain the two most impactful and cost-effective interventions in medicine, alternative lower risk products should be encouraged, besides the traditional smoking cessation and smoking prevention measures. In this panel discussion THR organizations meet to discuss strategies to share best practices or join forces to raise awareness on existing knowledge, create more opportunities for the education of health policy experts, regulators, and the public to properly explain the benefits of harm reduction. Better informed patients lead to better outcomes. Better informed doctors and public health officials lead to better informed patients. Better informed politicians lead to more effective policies.
