The World Health Organization’s recently published report on the global tobacco “pandemic” discounts the impact of harm reduction and vaping, according to Michael Landl, director of the World Vapers’ Alliance

„Deși este plin de sperieturi părtinitoare anti-vaping și afirmații nefondate, direcția generală a raportului este nedumerită. În loc să acorde prioritate obiectivului crucial de reducere a ratei de fumat, OMS își concentrează atenția asupra vapingului, care se întâmplă să fie cel mai puternic instrument de renunțare la fumat disponibil.”

In the report’s foreword, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus asserts that vaping would undermine anti-smoking efforts, claiming that e-cigarettes are harmful to both the people using them and those around them.

“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.”
