DEFINITION Tobacco harm-reduction approaches,such as the use of smokeless tobacco among smokersunwilling or unable to quit, have been considered as afeasible alternative that can potentially reduce tobaccorelated morbidity and mortality, even with continueduse of products that contain tobacco constituents Stratton K, Shetty P, Wallace R, Bondurant S, (eds): Clearing the smoke. Assessing the science base for tobacco harm reduction. Institute of Medicine. National AcademyPress, Washington, DC; 2001
RESULT HARM REDUCTION IS NOT A METHOD OF SMOKING CESSATION A clinical practice guideline for treating tobacco use and dependence: 2008 update. Am J Prev Med. 2008;35:158-76.
METHODS OF HARM REDUCTION 1. Avoidance of initiation (prevention) 2. Complete cessation 3. Reduce daily cigarette consumption 4. Switch to long term nicotine replacement therapy 5.Use NRT during temporary abstinence to reduce nicotine withdrawalsymptoms 6. Switch to potentially less harmful type of smoking product 7. Switch to potentially less harmful type of smokeless tobacco
Tobacco industry 1950 Medicine 1995
1954: The “Frank Statement to Smokers” • We believe the products we make are not injurious to health • We always have and always will cooperate closely with those whose task it is to safeguard the public health
Statements by Industry Representatives Moreover nicotine is addictive. We are then in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug…. But cigarettes –…..despite the beneficient effect of nicotine, have certain unattractive side effects: They cause, or predispose to, lung cancer…. certain cardiovascular diseases..may well be truly causative in emphysema.. 1963, Addison Yeaman, Executive Vice President of Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company
Statements by Industry Representatives “if our product is harmful, we’ll stop making it.” James Bowling, Vice President, Philip Morris, 1972. (Kwitny, 1972)
Bernt Magnusson, Chairman of theboard of Swedish Match Swedish Match Annual General Meeting 2006:Citation from the tobacco industry: • ”We have no friends. The authorities doeverything to stop the distribution and theuse of tobacco. The government raises thetaxes. Our product is so special, it is combatted by the great majority, eventhose who make use of it” 200.000 $ for a suffering chairman

Smokeless tobacco is not qualified as an acceptable alternative to smoking • Medical; due to the significant health risks • Pharmacological;due to it’s high addictive potential • Ethical; due to the industrial efforts to continue to recruit young new addicts
Pharmaceutical Industry • Selling product on a short-term basis • İncreased cessation rate on medium -term • Future?
Treating Tobacco Use andDependence: 2008 Update Noncigarette Tobacco Users • Smokeless tobacco users should be identifed, stronglyurged to quit, and provided counseling cessationinterventions. (Strength of Evidence = A) • Recommendation: Clinicians delivering dental health services should provide brief counseling interventions to all smokeless tobacco users. (Strength of Evidence = A) • Recommendation: Users of cigars, pipes, and other noncigarette forms of smoking tobacco should be identifed, strongly urged to quit, and ofered the same counseling interventions recommended for cigarettesmokers. (Strength of Evidence = C)
Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update Like cigarette smoking, the use of smokeless tobacco, such as chewingtobacco, snuff, or moist snuff, produces addiction to nicotine and has serioushealth consequences.742-744 Smokeless tobacco use was reported among4 percent of adult men, but less than 1 percent of women in 2005.591,745Health risks from these products include abrasion of teeth, gingival recession,periodontal bone loss, leukoplakia, and oral and pancreatic cancer.745,746 Thus, the use of smokeless tobacco is not a safe alternative tosmoking,747 nor is there evidence to suggest that it is effective in helping smokers quit.Evidence shows that counseling treatments are effective in treating smokelesstobacco users.748-750 Therefore, clinicians should offer quitting adviceand assistance to their patients who use tobacco, regardless of the formulationof the tobacco product. Some information may be particularly relevant in the treatment of smokeless tobacco use. For instance, a large majorityof moist snuff users have identifiable orallesions, and emphasizing this informationduring an oral exam may be useful in motivating a quit attempt.A close review of the literature showed that dental health clinicians (e.g.,dental hygienists) delivering brief advice to quit using smokeless tobacco,in the context of oral hygiene feedback, can increase abstinence rates.250,751Cigar smokers are at increased risk for coronary heart disease; COPD;periodontitis; and oral, esophageal, laryngeal, lung, and other cancers;with evidence of dose-response effects.752-756 The prevalence of cigar smoking was 5 percent for men and less than 1 percent for women.590 Althoughcigarette sales have declined over the last decade, cigar sales have increasedin the United States, increasing 15.3 percent in 2005,757 and sales of “littlecigars” were at an all-time high in 2006.758 Cigar smokers are known to discountthe health effects of cigar smoking, believing it to be less detrimental than cigarettes.752,759 Clinicians should be aware of and address the use of other noncigaretteobacco products, including pipes, water pipes (also known as hookahs andnarghile), cigarillos, loose tobacco, bidis, and betel quid. The use of cigars,pipes, and bidis is associated with cancers of the lung, stomach, oral cavity,larynx, and esophagus.760 Further, the evidence is mixed as to whether ornot individuals who use noncigarette tobacco products, either alone or inaddition to cigarettes, find it more or lessdifficult, in comparison to cigarettesmokers, to become abstinent from tobacco.761,762 Tobacco Use Medications. Current evidence is insufficient to suggest thatthe use of tobacco cessation medications increases long-term abstinenceamong users of smokeless tobacco. Studies conducted to date with variousmedications have not shown that they increase abstinence rates in this population.750,751,763,764
METHODS OF HARM REDUCTION 1.Reduce daily cigarette consumption 2. Switch to long term nicotine replacement therapy 3. Use NRT during temporary abstinence to reduce nicotinewithdrawal symptoms

CONCLUSION • In both sexes, a reduction in cigaretteconsumption by 50%was not associated with a markedly lower risk of all-causemortality and, specifically, of dying from cardiovasculardisease or smoking-related cancer. • Accordingly, a reductionin consumption does not seem to bring about harmreduction.
Switch to Nicotine Replacement Therapy • Safe? • Successful?
