Anti Vaping WHO and the Dirty Tricks Campaign
Vape advocates fear there’s an anti-vaping WHO’s dirty tricks game being played out behind the scenes.
The World Health Organization had shelved plans to tackle vaping at it’s next COP9 meeting, however many believe the WHO will be ramping up the negativity.
Nancy Loucas, Executive Coordinator the Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA), says the WHO has already been caught bad mouthing all things vape at at least one of its regional meetings held earlier this month.
The agenda of the WHO’s Western Pacific Region Organization shows discussions including: scientific updates on emerging tobacco and tobacco-like products, and nicotine products.
In other words, the WHO is setting out its anti-vaping stall prior to the COP9 meeting where pro-vaping advocates will be silenced.
Indeed.
Seeing the WHO playing these silly and some might say childish games, tells you all you need to know about this greedy and ignorant organization.
UK vapers really need to mobilize to fight the WHO’s underhand tactics.
So what are your thoughts on the anti-vaping WHO’s dirty tricks game ?

100 Vape Advocates Take On the WHO
Ahead of the COP9 meeting mentioned above, 100 tobacco harm control experts have signed a letter to the WHO calling for it to drop it’s war on vaping.
Led by prolific advocate Clive Bates, the letter offers seven key points and six recommendations the WHO must consider.
and finally…Mexico Lifts Vape Ban
Let’s end with some good news…
Great to see Mexico has lifted it’s decade long ban on nicotine vapes with a court ruling it ‘unconstitutional‘.
Despite the ban some reports say there’s over 1 million vapers in the country – all of whom have been risking criminal prosecution for the ‘crime‘ of vaping.
