(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

This catalogue identifies 40 potentially reduced exposure products (PREPs), features information about the product's manufacturer, availability and potential for harm reduction.

Comment: PREPs pose an interesting public health challenge in light of the fact that advertisements for these products convey safety claims.
