Conclusion: Motives for the WHO’s Tobacconization of all Industry
The WHO's report on commercial determinants of noncommunicable diseases in Europe proposes excluding "health-harming industries" from public dialogue akin to the approach taken with the tobacco industry. Critics argue this approach could hinder public health advancements and partnerships seen in the recent pandemic response. The report dismisses industry efforts, promotes engaging with civil society organizations over industry, and questions the motives behind industry actions. The WHO's push to isolate industry faces internal dissent and scrutiny.
