The right to information is a fundamental consumer value, may it be any form of product; the benefit to the consumer has to be at the heart of it. Today’s consumer is increasingly health conscious, from food to skincare to health and work-life balance – every aspect of life is now a well thought out, researched and self-aware decision. There are more than 1 billion smokers worldwide. And while everyone knows the negative impact of smoking on health, not many know why or of a solution, if they can’t quit smoking.
A cigarette burns shredded tobacco leaves at temperatures in excess of 600 degrees, producing a complex mixture we call smoke. Cigarette smoke contains flavours from the tobacco blend, as well as nicotine, which exists naturally in tobacco leaves. It is these elements in the smoke that consumers enjoy while smoking.
NICE sets out plans for ‘ambitious’ five-year strategy
NICE refocuses on reducing health inequalities and accelerating access to the latest and most effective treatments
The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has presented its five-year strategic plan for the future with the aim of becoming more dynamic and collaborative in its operations.
The strategy, developed following talks with key opinion leaders, external stakeholders, patients groups and partner organisations, will seek to put NICE ahead of the challenges presented by a ‘rapidly changing’ environment.
This includes refocusing on reducing health inequalities and bureaucracy while accelerating access to the latest and most effective treatments.
