According to a report by Croatian health research agency CROHM, countries that promote alternative tobacco and nicotine products, such as Sweden and the United Kingdom, have seen a decline in the number of smokers and smoking-related diseases. Croatia, on the other hand, has a chronically high number of smokers, reaching about one million people.
Michael Landl, chairman of the World Vapers Alliance, the world's largest e-cigarette users association, said that alternative tobacco and nicotine products are currently the most effective smoking cessation treatments.
Doctors and scientists warned at the first international conference on "Alternative Tobacco and Nicotine Products" that many smokers in Croatia mistakenly believe that alternative products are as harmful as cigarettes, or even worse, due to insufficient information and stricter regulatory restrictions. .
