Resumen
Descripción
In this working paper, an exploration
of available data and information is conducted and findings
presented, to support the view that the dichotomous business
model and related harm reduction narrative promoted nowadays
by the tobacco industry, merits scrutiny by the
international community. The promotion of e-cigarettes as
welfare enhancing in rich countries, particularly because
they are posited to help adult smokers quit, tends to
obfuscate a dire reality. The same tobacco industry that
promotes (e-cigarettes as harm reduction in rich countries,
derives the bulk of its profits by selling cigarettes in
lower income countries.
