Personal Attacks on THR Proponents Ramp Up Amid COP11

Tobacco harm reductionists face attacks while advocating for safer nicotine products. Personal attacks and intimidation are common tactics by opponents trying to discredit them. Recent attacks targeted Dr. Farsalinos and THR advocate Bates ahead of COP11. Glantz's anti-vape stance led him to attack Bates for advocating THR. Siegel criticized Glantz for misrepresenting the scientific evidence. The misleading claims aim to distort the benefits of safer nicotine products compared to smoking. The attacks within the tobacco control movement hinder progress in reducing tobacco-related diseases. Calling out such smearing is crucial to combat unjustified criticisms and uphold the integrity of the debate on tobacco harm reduction.
