Unions that support its commercialisation also argued that lifting the ban would prevent smuggling and guarantee their quality. On the other side, universities, medical and anti-tobacco institutions argued that such devices may have health risks, including the risk of inducing cigarette smoking. In 2009, most arguments belonged to the \u2018health\u2019 theme, while in 2018 and 2019 economic arguments and those related to morals and ethics were frequently used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Those that supported the commercialisation and marketing of e-cigarettes and HTPs first focused on arguments of harm reduction, while 10 years later the right to access and potential economic consequences also became common. Public health agents and academics must gather evidence to effectively respond to these arguments and discuss these policies, and must prepare themselves to use and respond to arguments related to moral and economic themes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/tobaccocontrol-2021-056628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,16]],"date-time":"2021-09-16T17:22:10Z","timestamp":1631812930000},"page":"296-301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Arguments used by proponents and opponents in Brazil\u2019s regulatory discussions of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0035-3407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00f4nica","family":"Nunes-Rubinstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7364-0100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Le\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023042003150689000_32.3.296.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1837","DOI":"10.1590\/1413-81232018236.05202018","article-title":"Tobacco control policies in Brazil: a 30-year assessment","volume":"23","author":"Portes","year":"2018","journal-title":"Cien Saude Colet"},{"key":"2023042003150689000_32.3.296.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.09.031109"},{"key":"2023042003150689000_32.3.296.3","unstructured":"Lei n\u00b0 9.294. de 15 de julho de 1996."},{"key":"2023042003150689000_32.3.296.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1001336"},{"key":"2023042003150689000_32.3.296.5","unstructured":"Anvisa .
