| Résumé : |
There is a general consensus that electronic cigarettes need to be better regulated. Possible options for their regulation are: as medicinal products, medical devices, consumer products or tobacco products. In order to support the process of opinion formation on this issue, the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) has issued the present report, which evaluates currently available studies on product quality of electronic cigarettes, potential health implications and their usefulness as tobacco cessation aids. The German Cancer Research Center welcomes the suggestion made by the European Commission to regulate electronic cigarettes as medicinal products. For one thing, regulation as medicinal products guarantees good product quality and for another, the products would thus be available for smokers who do not manage to quit by other means. Thus, electronic cigarettes are either used as an alternative to smoking to reduce tobacco use for harm reduction or as a new smoking cessation aid. Complete, sustained smoking cessation is a prerequisite for effective cancer prevention. |
