How to Sidestep Addiction and Save a Billion Lives | Tamu Green Ph.D. | TEDxFolsom

“We have the expectation that consumer products that needlessly cause injury and death are never placed on the market, but what do we do if a product began its sales before its harm was known and then addicted its consumers? Can it still be recalled without rioting in the streets?

Dr. Green makes the case that while maintaining access to sales intact for current smokers, the lives of the NEXT generations can be protected with a simple policy that phases out the commercial sale of cigarettes to them — acting on the science that we have had for at least six decades that there is no safe use of this product which, when used as directed, hastens injury and death.”
