NAS 2026 | Cliff Douglas: Risk Continuum Should Play a Central Role in Tobacco Policy

Cliff Douglas, a veteran U.S. tobacco-control and public health policy figure, told NAS 2026 that the “continuum of risk” should play a central role in tobacco policy.

National regulations already vary significantly across the bloc, a fragmentation the Commission says creates internal-market barriers and distorts competition.

The report says non-circular electronic products, particularly single-use items, can increase consumption of limited natural resources and also details an IQOS repair pilot. A 2040 circularity scenario tests assumptions including a 50% reduction in product waste-related costs, 10% raw-material savings and a 25% substitution rate for refurbished products versus new products.
