In a commentary in the Signal Tribune, California, a health expert has hit out against US tobacco policy that insists on smokers quitting tobacco and nicotine altogether.
Dr. Brad Rodu is a professor of medicine and holds an endowed chair in tobacco harm reduction research at the University of Louisville James Graham Brown Cancer Center.
Rodu argues that switching to snus or electronic cigarettes yields almost all of the health benefits of quitting smoking altogether.
