Dr. Farsalinos: "Further into the report, e-cigarettes are characterized as “an ideal tobacco harm reduction product”. This is because of effective nicotine delivery and self-titration of nicotine intake in the absence (or presence at negligible levels) of the vast majority of harmful constituents of tobacco smoke. The report also acknowledges the importance of the psycho-behavioral resemblance of e-cigarette use with smoking (sensory irritation, motor simulation)."

The other is focusing on potential benefits.”
