New Tobacco Products

Once limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco and chewing or spit tobacco, tobacco products today come in more flavors, forms, shapes and sizes, and with more unproven health claims, than ever before. 

Key trends include:

Introducing flavored products Creating novel smokeless products Targeting products and marketing Sustaining addiction and discouraging

quitting

Page 3: Emerging Forms of Tobacco in the U.S. Alternative Forms of Tobacco aka Potentially Reduced Exposure Products (PREPS)

Reduced Exposure vs. Reduced Risk

Reduced Exposure: The shortened level of secondhand smoke omitted and its inhalation to non-smokers

Reduced Risk: A lower risk of negative health effects associated with the use of the tobacco product

New Advertisement Methods

Manufacturers focus on the habits, desires, and tastes of their intended audience.

“The tobacco pandemic is a communicated disease. It is communicated through advertising, through the example of smokers and through the smoke to which non-smokers-especially children-are exposed.” – Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director General, World Health Organization, 1999

Reduced Risk Products

Some products substitute tobacco for other harmful substances that can contain carbon monoxide and propylene glycol

Can still have a high level nicotine There are not current studies supporting

the use of these products, no safe level!

Moving from ideas to action

Questions to ask yourself when making an action plan:

Have a goal. How can we write down the goal in simple terms? How to spread the message —who needs to be educated, how

do we get our message out, etc When to begin and end the work towards this goal. Are these

dates realistic in terms of what everyone can do? Materials are needed—food, pencils and paper, poster board,

etc Make sure that everyone knows what their responsibility will

be. How do we evaluate the successfulness of the action steps?

How do we know when we’ve finished the steps?
