Exposure to carcinogens not proportionally decreased by reduction ...( these two distinct but complementary p...),Health

these two distinct but complementary papers highlight that tobacco's role as a cancer initiator and promoter not only is multifactorial and complex, but also remains one of the greatest global public health challenges. "Given the dearth of evidence supporting the viability and benefits of reduced smoking as a harm reduction strategy, and given the strong evidence that smoking cessation can have a dramatic impact on future tobacco-related morbidity and mortality, the IARC working group correctly concludes that the most dramatic health benefits in the next half century will occur if we can significantly increase the number of smokers who quit," they write.
