📰!!Big News!!📰FDA authorizes marketing of a boring (non-vaping) to***co cigarette aimed to help reduce exposure to Ni****ne for Smokers.⁠
⁠
🚬So, the VLN® ci******es are made with specialty grown to***co which has ~95% less ni****ne, compared with typical to***co ci******es.⁠
⁠
📄From the FDA application (scientific advisory documents available through linkin.bio) included a study suggesting 50% reduction in ci******es per day after 20 weeks of smoking these VLN ci******es.⁠
⁠
😳But, HOLD THE PHONES, before you start thinking about buying stock in the parent company, looking at the science behind these ci******es, there the levels of these chemicals (and many more) are in fact similar to standard ci******es:⁠
☠️Carbon Monoxid⁠
☠️Isoprene⁠
☠️Ammonia⁠
☠️Toluene⁠
☠️Benzene⁠
⁠
🤔 my take home throught? The VLN ci******es could be a very useful TOOL for short term strategy for quitting, but ABSOLUTELY NOT BE THOUGHT AS A SAFE CIGARETTE!!!⁠

⁠📱Keep up with smoking cessation efforts by following: / / / ⁠⁠⠀⠀⁠

The image illustrates research findings of ‘no difference’ that nevertheless are compatible with no harm and potential clinically meaningful benefit (blue), or potential clinically meaningful harm and benefit (green).
