The proven, most effective way to get people to stop smoking is to significantly raise prices on cigarettes. How many high schoolers would take up smoking if it cost $25 per pack?

On the other hand, if current addicts could smoke tons of VLN on their way to quitting, that's a win win.

ECR: "Smoking cessation is one of the most effective ways to reduce cardiovascular risk. However, weight gain and abdominal obesity generally occur after quitting smoking, as a result of nicotine withdrawal. Obesity increases various inflammatory markers, and weight gain after smoking cessation temporarily increases the risk of diabetes and reduces the benefit gained by smoking abstinence."
