Is it Tobacco ? Nicotine ? Use ? Abuse ?
=============================
Catherine Ritter ( BMJ : 05 August 2014 ) focuses the attention of the reader to a ' long neglected public health problem '.
However, it is imprecise whether the subject is tobacco or nicotine and the object is reduction of use or abuse. The reader is left to second guess.
My guess is that the presenter is well intentioned though clarity is short changed.
