"Adult smokers should be given assistance and information to quit smoking, such as access to safer alternatives," Saligupta said.

Key Points: 
  • "Adult smokers should be given assistance and information to quit smoking, such as access to safer alternatives," Saligupta said.
  • The open letter says that encouraging harm reduction helps people take positive steps to protect their health while respecting their freedoms and rights.
  • Saligupta said no less than the UN Human Rights Office recognizes the harm reduction approach to drug use as an "obligation" under the Right to Health.
  • Depriving them of this opportunity is not just a violation of human rights but also a failure to help adult smokers enjoy better lives," said Saligupta.
