The Eudoxa think tank launches Bulletin Board on harm reduction
The Eudoxa think tank proudly launches its latest campaign focused on health care reform through the creation of an electronic Bulletin Board.
The Eudoxa Bulletin Board will function as a communications forum for individuals who are involved with or are closely following the global issue of Tobacco Harm Reduction. The Bulletin Board allows individuals to post information and stay informed regarding current issues and new research.
The scientific community, journalists, and the general public are encouraged to utilize this new resource to observe and/or join in this global debate by visiting:
Harm Reduction is a public health philosophy intended to be a progressive alternative to the prohibition of lifestyle choices. The central idea of harm reduction is the recognition that some people always have and always will engage in behaviors which carry risks, like the use of tobacco. Harm Reduction is intended to mitigate the potential harms associated with tobacco use without prohibiting the use of related products.
Eudoxa is the recipient of an unrestricted gift from International Smokeless Tobacco Company, Inc., an affiliate of U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company, for support of this tobacco harm reduction electronic bulletin board project. The project itself is moderated by Eudoxa's Dr. Anders Sandberg who can be contacted via the Bulletin Board or at: anders.sandberg@eudoxa.se
