CAPHRA Urges End to Disinformation About Vapes

The Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA) celebrates World Vape Day on May 30, 2024, urging global leaders to recognize safer nicotine products' life-saving potential. CAPHRA highlights the WHO's misleading stance on vaping despite scientific evidence and calls for a shift towards harm reduction policies. The organization criticizes the WHO for excluding harm reduction advocates and consumer groups, emphasizing the importance of providing alternative options for smokers worldwide. CAPHRA urges stakeholders to challenge disinformation, prioritize evidence-based policies, and integrate harm reduction strategies to combat the tobacco epidemic and promote public health.
