Scientists: Only proven alternatives are better options for smokers' health
Several independent studies conducted within scientific institutions in the UK and the US confirm that reliable electronic devices, as well as tobacco alternatives that heat tobacco, are a much better solution for smokers than traditional cigarettes.
The American Scientists Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) published an article in the journal Science stating that "the most harmful nicotine products, those that burn tobacco must be multiple and more aggressively regulated than less harmful products that do not burn tobacco," and emphasize that those who miss to make that distinction of "betraying public health."
The only device on the US market, to which this debate is the most current, that has the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for launch in the US is IKOS, a device that heats rather than burns tobacco, which differs from electronic cigarettes that use liquid with added nicotine.
