Yeah, from a risk reduction standpoint, for sure.
Do you see that being as successful as the producers are making it out to be?
Because they essentially are saying any regulation of these products, removing the bubble gum flavors, the colorings to make the packaging fun, that is harming our ability to risk reduce products.
versus the argument on the flip side is, well, by making it attractive to teens, are you getting them into the nicotine gateway?
Yeah, where do you stand on that?
For me, I think that if they believe their products to be truly a risk reduction modality, it needs to be treated like a risk reduction modality and regulated as such.
through trials, through FDA, as opposed to, oh, this is just something we sell at the pharmacy to help people quit.
Well, no, if you're gonna make that claim about it, it needs to have the data behind it to make that claim.
Therefore, you treat it more seriously and you're not putting in bubble gum flavors and you're creating a little bit of a barrier so that it doesn't reach the community where they can get addicted and now escalate as opposed to deescalate.
this third world where people are just saying, well, I'm just using nicotine because I think it helps me be
okay.
