- What does the available research indicate about the relative and absolute health consequences of the use of the range of tobacco and nicotine products?
- How do alternative tobacco and nicotine products impact established tobacco control policies, programs, and regulations?
- What can the experience of other countries teach about regulation of these products?
- What areas of agreement and common ground exist even amidst the debate?
- What are the principles of public health policy and regulation that should shape the future of these products?
