Abstract

Promoting a shift from smoking tobacco to reduced-risk products—such as vapes and heat-not-burn tobacco—has the potential to ease the burden on healthcare resources, particularly health expenditure, if empirical evidence shows that reduced-risk products are an effective smoking cessation tool or can help to mitigate the risk of disease. However, there are notable variations in needs and provision of healthcare services between different regions. This article will explore this heterogeneity with the aim of understanding the different health impacts of switching from smoking to reduced-risk products across England, assessing the potential savings for the NHS and potential progress towards the goal of the country becoming smoke-free. This exploratory analysis of different sources of variation across regions offers policy insights to motivate further research.
从烟草转向低风险产品是否会释放医院资源?
如果经验证据表明,降低风险的产品是一种有效的戒烟工具或有助于降低疾病风险,那么促进从吸烟转向低风险产品,如电子烟和热不燃烟草,有可能减轻医疗资源的负担,特别是医疗支出。然而,不同地区在医疗服务的需求和提供方面存在显著差异。本文将探讨这种异质性,目的是了解英格兰各地从吸烟转向低风险产品对健康的不同影响,评估英国国家医疗服务体系的潜在节约以及实现国家无烟目标的潜在进展。这种对不同地区差异来源的探索性分析为激励进一步研究提供了政策见解。
