Well, except for the fact that tests show a reduction in number of cigarettes smoked by the majority of smokers using VLN.

{Participants who were assigned VLNC cigarettes smoked fewer cigarettes per day (14.9) than those assigned to their usual brand (22.2)}

and

{Use of VLNC cigarettes decreased daily consumption, as well as nicotine and toxicant exposure, relative to use of moderate nicotine content cigarettes}

and

{There were higher rates of abstinence when smoking VLNC cigarettes compared with the normal nicotine condition}

and

{The offer of, and instructions to use, reduced nicotine content cigarettes over an 8?week period led to greater reductions in smoking rates}

And, if you read the test results, their is a reduction in some of the harmful chemicals with VLN compared to regular cigarettes.
