Hypocrisy or a real desire to do everything to create a better world, theWorld Health Organization (WHO) is taking advantage of the end of the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis to communicate on the fight against smoking. Despite hazardous positions and incessant attacks on vaping, the WHO specifies in a recent publication that there is real progress in the fight against tobacco.bagism.
THE FIGHT AGAINST SMOKING BUT ALWAYS NO SUPPORT TO VAPING!
In his desire to fight against smoking, theWorld Health Organization (WHO) still doesn't seem interested in supporting the best harm reduction product: vaping. In a recent press release, the organization states: “ Despite the difficult circumstances in which the world finds itself, this does not prevent the Parties to the WHO FCTC from continuing to make progress in the fight against tobacco. "
WHO therefore presents a list of recent "success stories" based on bans and taxes. :
- Kenya has ratified the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products
- Andorra has ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
- The Netherlands ends the sale of tobacco in supermarkets and service stations
- Ethiopia Passes Landmark Bill to Increase Tobacco Taxes
- European Union bans flavored cigarettes
These decisions are important because they limit the consumption of smokers and provide certain solutions to fight against entry into smoking by non-smokers. But what about help for smokers wanting to quit smoking? When will the WHO agree to support vaping as a transition to a smoke-free world?
