Does the WHO really want us to stop smoking?

The WHO spreads misinformation about vaping, failing to differentiate between harmful tobacco and safer alternatives like vapes. Statements made during a recent webinar were misleading and unsupported by evidence, falsely claiming health risks associated with reduced-risk products. This misinformation hinders efforts to reduce smoking rates and protect public health. By advocating for bans on flavors and misrepresenting safer nicotine alternatives, the WHO and governments risk benefiting Big Tobacco and impeding harm reduction efforts. To truly protect lives and combat smoking, the WHO must correct its misinformation and support evidence-based harm reduction strategies.
