The WHO Prioritizes Youth Who Don’t Smoke Over Adults Who Do

The World Health Organization's COP10 focused on the FCTC, aiming to tackle the global tobacco epidemic but shifted attention to youth vaping rather than adult smokers. Despite the rise in safer nicotine products, the WHO opposes harm reduction, impacting smoking rates worldwide. US youth smoking has drastically declined as vaping rates rose, yet a youth vaping "epidemic" narrative persists. Countries like the UK and Canada also saw smoking decreases with vaping availability.
