Is heated tobacco a harm reduction tool?

Abstract

Le tabac chauffé (TC), nouveau produit du tabac, est présenté par l'industrie du tabac comme une alternative efficace et sûre à la cigarette. Même si les quantités de composés nocifs pour la santé émises par le TC sont inférieures à celles trouvées dans la fumée de cigarette, cette diminution d'exposition ne peut être assimilée à une réduction de risque. Aucune étude n'a apporté la preuve que le passage de la cigarette au TC réduisait le risque des maladies liées au tabac. Le TC ne peut pas être considéré comme un produit de sevrage de la cigarette et a même été conçu comme un produit pour entrer dans la consommation de tabac ou y revenir. Pour faire la promotion de ce produit, l'industrie du tabac exploite essentiellement le concept de réduction des risques et, à ce titre, essaie dans sa communication commerciale de créer la confusion entre le TC et la cigarette électronique alors que ces deux produits n'ont rien à voir. Cette promotion s'appuie, d'une part, sur les données d'études internes en contradiction avec celles d'études indépendantes, d'autre part, de façon illégale au travers des réseaux sociaux et avec une communication en contradiction avec les avis des autorités de régulation. Le TC est un nouveau leurre de l'industrie du tabac, destiné à assurer le maintien de ses profits dans un monde qui s'éloigne de la cigarette « traditionnelle ». Il doit être formellement déconseillé, tant aux non-fumeurs qu'aux fumeurs.

Heated tobacco (TC), a new tobacco product, is presented by the tobacco industry as an effective and safe alternative to cigarettes. Even if the quantities of compounds harmful to health emitted by TC are lower than those found in cigarette smoke, this reduction in exposure cannot be equated with a reduction in risk. No study has provided evidence that switching from cigarettes to TC reduces the risk of tobacco-related diseases. TC cannot be considered as a cigarette cessation product and was even designed as a product to initiate or return to tobacco consumption. To promote this product, the tobacco industry essentially exploits the concept of harm reduction and, as such, tries in its commercial communication to create confusion between TC and electronic cigarettes, while these two products have nothing to do. This promotion is based, on the one hand, on the data of internal studies in contradiction with those of independent studies, on the other hand illegally through social networks and with communication in contradiction with the statement of the authorities of regulation. TC is a new lure offered by the tobacco industry, intended to maintain its profits in a world that is moving away from "traditional" cigarettes. It should be strictly not recommended for both non-smokers and smokers.
