This CPD Bite highlights the health risks of tobacco alternatives beyond e-cigarettes, including heated tobacco products, smokeless tobacco, and nicotine pouches. It summarises current evidence on their harms, addresses common misconceptions such as “safer alternatives”, and highlights groups at higher risk. It also reinforces the key role of pharmacists in addressing misinformation, providing evidence-based advice, and supporting patients in tobacco cessation within everyday, people-centred practice.
