L-Organizzazzjoni Dinjija tas-Saħħa ppubblikata reċentement rapport dwar il-"pandemija" globali tat-tabakk ma tagħtix kas tal-impatt tat-tnaqqis tal-ħsara u l-vaping, skont Michael Landl, direttur tal-World Vapers' Alliance

“"Filwaqt li mimli bi twerwir preġudikat kontra l-vaping u stqarrijiet bla bażi, id-direzzjoni ġenerali tar-rapport hija perplessa. Minflok ma tipprijoritizza l-għan kruċjali li jitnaqqsu r-rati tat-tipjip, id-WHO qed tiffoka fuq il-vaping, li jiġri li huwa l-aktar għodda qawwija disponibbli biex wieħed jieqaf mit-tipjip."”

Fid-daħla tar-rapport, id-Direttur Ġenerali Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus isostni li l-vaping idgħajjef l-isforzi kontra t-tipjip, u jsostni li s-sigaretti elettroniċi huma ta’ ħsara kemm għan-nies li jużawhom kif ukoll għal dawk ta’ madwarhom.

“Regrettably, the WHO appears to ignore reality and scientific evidence,” said Landl in a statement. “Countries that adopt an open and consumer-friendly approach to harm reduction products achieve significantly better results than those following WHO’s misguided path. Comparative data from Sweden and the United Kingdom demonstrate their remarkable success in reducing smoking rates, surpassing countries with a negative harm reduction approach by a wide margin.”
