Although over a billion people around the world now use nicotine frequently and with only minor adverse direct health effects (and some benefits), health establishments in many countries are very hostile to nicotine. Advertisements today wilfully exaggerating the risks of vaping nicotine resemble the crude, propagandist warnings not so long ago against cannabis. Harm reduction was embraced in the early 1980s by governments in many countries when it was realised that trying to reduce the supply of illicit drugs would not reduce the spread of HIV among and from people who inject drugs and was very likely to increase HIV spread. So governments accepted harm reduction and many lives and billions of dollars were saved. Four decades later, the important lessons learned from the HIV epidemic have been forgotten. Once again, harm reduction is controversial. Maybe governments, so tobacco control tell us, really can eradicate tobacco and nicotine use and don’t have to gamble with harm reduction?
WOW.... I am not shutting up.

Brilliantly written, you probably don't need the last 1/3rd of the paper as the seven sections portray it clearly
