Fig. 5. Strategies to reduce the harm and maximize the benefits associated with e-cigarettes at the individual and group levels^82,96,97,123.

The North Axis represents the benefits of e-cigarettes for smokers and the South axis represents the risks, while the East and West axes represent the strategies that may be adopted at an individual level and community/population level. By maximizing the benefits in select adult smokers through harm reduction and minimizing the risks of exposure in minors, e-cigarettes may be safely used.
