Public perceptions of nicotine do not always align with the scientific evidence.
According to an ALCS analysis of PATH studies, 63% of adults who smoke incorrectly believe nicotine causes cancer, and misperceptions are even worse among physicians.
PATH studies also show that adult smokers with the correct perceptions about nicotine were more likely to switch to non-combustible products.
