What is the main goal of proportionate, risk-based regulation in tobacco harm reduction (THR)?
To ban all nicotine products equally
To regulate products according to their relative levels of harm
Risk-based regulation ensures that products causing less harm, like e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches, are treated differently from combustible tobacco, aligning policy with public health evidence.
To prioritise economic growth over public health
To tax all nicotine products at the same rate
Which of the following best describes the purpose of advocacy and public education in advancing THR?
To promote nicotine products to new users
To replace all smoking cessation programmes
To build public and professional understanding of harm reduction and counter misinformation
Effective advocacy and education focus on improving THR literacy, clarifying the difference between nicotine and smoking, and ensuring that public perceptions are based on science rather than stigma.
To create moral campaigns discouraging nicotine use
Why is integrating THR into existing health and social service programmes important for LMICs?
It allows THR to remain a specialised, stand-alone programme
It enhances sustainability and reaches high-risk groups through existing service networks
Integration enables efficient use of existing systems (like HIV or primary care services) to reach people who smoke who might otherwise lack access to harm reduction support
It avoids engagement with community health workers
It eliminates the need for public health infrastructure
Which statement best captures the role of stakeholder engagement in advancing THR?
Policymakers alone should design THR policy
Collaboration among civil society, researchers, donors, policymakers, and users ensures inclusive, evidence-based outcomes
THR progress depends on diverse collaboration—each stakeholder contributes unique insights, ensuring that policy and implementation are both practical and people-centred
Nicotine users should not be included in policy discussions
Stakeholder engagement slows down implementation
When adapting global THR practices to LMIC contexts, what is most important for success?
Copying policies directly from high-income countries
Adjusting approaches to fit local realities, capacities, and cultural contexts
LMICs must adapt global lessons, like those from the UK or New Zealand, to their own social, economic, and regulatory environments, ensuring relevance and sustainability.
Relying only on international experts for guidance
Ignoring local research and focusing on global evidence
