He emphasized the importance of addressing both the addiction to nicotine and the harmful effects of tar. THR strategies provide smokers with alternatives that satisfy their nicotine cravings without exposing them to the harmful toxins found in tobacco smoke.

@joelsawa vivdly explains the phrase, "smoke for the nicotine, but die of the tar". This succinctly captures the essence of the harm reduction. Nicotine is the addictive component of tobacco, it keeps individuals hooked on smoking. However, it's the tar that kills.

#ThrowBackThursday Dr.Kgosi Letlape, President of @AfricaHRA, speaking at the 2nd Africa Tobacco Harm Reduction Forum @THRForumAfrica held in Nairobi on 14 Feb 2022 #THR

[Joseph Magero @Josephmagero]

The portrayal of vapes and pouches in a negative light, often associating them with 'teenagers or kids', appears to be directly influenced by strategies employed by organizations like CTFK. There's a lack of empirical evidence to support these assertions... 🤷🏿‍♂️

[Africa Harm Reduction Alliance @AfricaHRA]

Sweden boasts the lowest smoking-related diseases in Europe because of non-combustible tobacco products.
