Female Smokers and Harm Reduction

Female Smokers and Harm Reduction

One of our main goals at Haypp is to inspire healthier enjoyment – encouraging smokers to ditch the cigarettes for harm reduction alternatives (such as nicotine pouches). While harm reduction is a term thrown around among smokers, the facts and statistics of harm reduction alternatives are not common knowledge. By providing clearer information, we can help reduce tobacco-related illnesses and deaths in the population: especially among women.  Over one-third of female smokers report that clear information about the lower harm of alternative nicotine products could influence their willingness to switch from cigarettes to safer nicotine alternatives. This International Women's Day, the team at Haypp want to uncover the statistics and facts about harm reduction alternatives, and how important it is that we bridge the knowledge gap for women on this topic.
