What is a PREP or potential reduction exposure product?
A PREP is a product used instead of typical cigarettes or smokeless tobacco to try to reduce exposure to tobacco toxins. Much about PREPS and their ability or inability to reduce exposure is unknown. But if a PREP actually results in reducing exposure to tobacco toxins, then it also may be a product that would offer less risk for tobacco-related disease. There is not necessarily a link between reduced exposure and reduced risk. Determining if there is one must be scientifically tested.
