Correcting Consumer & Health Care Provider Misperceptions
14:25 - 15:25
Health care providers, adults who smoke tobacco, and the public at large all have misperceptions about nicotine and the relative risk of non-combustible nicotine products. Misperceptions can lead to health care providers dispensing inaccurate information, motivating policy makers to pass laws that don’t improve public health, and preventing adults who smoke from switching to less harmful smoke-free products. Hear nicotine science, policy, and advocacy experts discuss long-standing misperceptions about nicotine. What misperceptions does the public believe, and where did those misperceptions come from? How can we meaningfully move the public’s understanding of nicotine and smoke-free products without inadvertently promoting use to unintended audiences (i.e., nonusers and youth)? What more can the FDA do to inform healthcare providers, people who smoke, and the public about the continuum of risk of various nicotine products? What can academic researchers do? What about manufacturers?
