Can popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic actually help people quit smoking?

In this episode of Clearing the Air at the World Nicotine Congress, Peter Beckett sits down with Dr. Rohan Sequeira, a cardio-endocrinologist with 30 years of medical experience. Eight years ago, a patient challenged Dr. Sequeira about his own smoking habit, prompting him to dive into the science of Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR). He hasn't touched a combustible cigarette since.

Dr. Sequeira breaks down a massive paradigm shift currently happening in public health: the intersection of GLP-1 receptor analogues (like Ozempic) and nicotine addiction. He explains how the dopamine pathways that control our food cravings are remarkably similar to the ones that control nicotine cravings, and shares his own clinical observations of patients using both.

We also dive into the politics of medicine, exploring why pharmaceutical giants are terrified to touch nicotine research and why the medical community continues to push back against the data.
