“In 2018, French Oncologist Professor David Khayat mounted a defense on the use of e-cigarettes to tame tobacco-related diseases. Earlier this month in Paris, the International Conference on Harm Reduction in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) was grappling with this same issue with Khayat defending his position. “As an oncologist, I encourage my patients to quit. But if they can’t, I must offer them alternatives. Even when people know that smoking is bad for their health, they continue to smoke. 64% of people with lung cancer continue to smoke,” he said. According to Khayat, the role of oncologists is not to eradicate tobacco but rather eradicate cancer and today’s alternative are heated tobacco and e-cigarettes.”
