摘要

Tobacco products are responsible for a large number of deaths and disabilityburden1. The tobacco industry (TI) had not openly made a statement regardingthe harms associated with the products they sell, until now. TI is now sellingnew tobacco products as part of a ‘harm reduction’ strategy. These new tobaccoproducts include e-cigarettes, vaping and similar devices. TI states that these newproducts are ‘safer’ than the ‘conventional cigarettes’ marketed by them. Healthauthorities have been concerned about the dangerous health effects of tobaccoproducts and their message has been consistent over time. However, PhilipMorris and British American Tobacco now admit that ‘conventional cigarettes’are associated with health risks2,3 in order to promote the new products they sell,the health risks associated with cigarette smoking are given on both archivedTI websites. These risks include secondhand smoke, cardiovascular and lungdiseases, as well as pregnancy-associated complications. Although JapaneseInternational Tobacco and Imperial Brands also offer similar new products, whichthey state have ‘lower risks’4,5, they do not indicate what these risks are. In ourview, these recent statements by the TI represent an open admission that theyare fully aware of the harm of their products, but despite this they continueto sell them. The statements by the tobacco industry represent clear evidenceof its mens rea regarding possible criminal cases for tobacco-associated deaths,disability and violations of human rights. Furthermore, why should we believe TIstatements about the safety of their new tobacco products if they have lied aboutthe cigarettes they also sell.
