New Viewpoint in @jamahealthforum.com with @jhb19.bsky.social, Benowitz, and @rachelylfung.bsky.social. We argue e-cigs are not a radical break, but a predictable technological step in a long history of people seeking rapid nicotine delivery with less harm. Link: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 1/3

E-Cigarettes in Historical Context

This Viewpoint discusses the potential for e-cigarettes to displace smoking, restrictive regulations, and public misperceptions amid enduring nicotine demand and persistent smoking-related disease.
