The WHO has continued to fail the smoking population in three major ways.1. By focussing solely on supply and demand reduction and not addressing harm reduction, even though it too is endorsed in Article 1, item d of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).2. By not objectively reviewing all the available science that is available on the subject and not heeding calls to engage with pro tobacco harm reduction experts to evaluate the ENTIRE body of evidence and facts and come to an objective analysis that provides guidance based on facts.3. By continuing to create division amongst the ranks of tobacco control expertsOn #WorldNoTobaccoDay learn more about #harmreduction #FCTCCOP10 #SaferNicotine and be a part of the change bit.ly/3ia6635 ...

“One does not need to be a scientist to grasp the substantial difference in risk between smoking tobacco cigarettes and using electronic cigarettes. On one hand, we have tobacco cigarettes burning organic matter at temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius when smoked. On the other hand, we have a device that employs electricity to heat a coil and evaporate a liquid, which then recondenses at temperatures below 300 degrees Celsius. Even a non-expert can understand the vast distinction between these products.” #ecigarettes World Health Organization (WHO) #vaping #tobaccoharmredduction #THR newsinfo.inquirer.net/1770386/health-experts-slam-global-tobacco-control-treaty-for-excluding-sci... ...
