The United States take disinformation, in the face of the e-cigarette, very seriously as evidenced by this article:
LES ENTREPRISES DE CIGARETTES ÉLECTRONIQUES SE PRÉPARENT POUR UNE LONGUE BATAILLE.
In the US, the electronic cigarette industry is preparing to launch a legal attack in the face of increasing criticism and "misleading" health concerns about vaping. At a fundraiser in California last night, a global group called " The Smoke Free Trade Association Alternatives (SFATA) Raised a huge amount of $ 110.000
Le meeting « Line in the sand » a été salué, comme la collecte de fonds la plus réussie dans l’histoire de l’industrie de l’e-cigarette. Elle is part of a global effort to challenge critical voices, and counter legislation aimed at cracking down on vaping. More events will take place in the coming weeks to bring even more money to the War Chest. The money will also be used to hire doctors and promote e-cigs and to put pressure on politicians.
WAR TO DISINFORMATION IS DECLARED.
Stefan Didak, co-président de la SFATA a tweeté les mots « Peur de nous » après le succès de l’événement de collecte de fonds. He said in "Mirror Online" that the gambling industry was prompted by "a campaign of disinformation" from scientists and public health authorities. Misleading arguments that can and will end up in court before a judge, The only way to combat influence on public opinion would be to present the facts… combined with political pressure by lobbyists… He went on to say that: “To top it off [there will be] some specific litigation against the worst offenders who knowingly engage in the publication of misleading information. "
Clearly, all those who will make disinformation on the E-cig could find themselves in front of a judge.
THE DEFENSE OF THE VAPE COMES FIRST BEFORE ALL THE VAPOTEURS THEMSELVES.
La soi-disant «communauté de la vape » est vaste et passionnée, avec une présence massive sur Internet. The vapers denounce the alarmist scientists about the e-cig and try to demystify the health studies showing the dangers of the vape. The community is also gripped by conspiracy theories about “the tobacco giants,” a dark alliance of companies alleged to use their money and negative influence by funding anti-ecig research.
THE DISINFORMATION MAKES SELL.
Le Professeur Robert West, de l’University College de Londres de Département d’épidémiologie et de santé publique, a déclaré que les chercheurs, derrière leurs études qui montraient des implications positives sur la santé, grâce à l’e-cig, ont souvent trouvé difficile de publier leur travail. He tells us, “Bad studies on e-cigarettes are easy to do and easy to publish in the best journals, which are hungry for publicity. Good studies are hard to do, and it's hard to publish them if they don't lead to fear-inspiring articles. "
When will the same demonstrations in France to fight against disinformation ?????
