THR advocates slam anti-vaping groups for misleading the public
Tobacco harm reduction advocates criticize anti-vaping groups for spreading misinformation, hindering access to safer alternatives, and denying the benefits recognized by consumers. They argue that smokeless technologies can prevent deaths due to the absence of toxic substances found in smoke. Scientific evidence supports vaping as 95% less harmful than smoking. Advocates like David Sweanor challenge organizations like the World Health Organization for dismissing harm reduction potential. Sweanor emphasizes the need for regulating innovative nicotine products without overlooking known risks. Despite opposition, over 120 million worldwide use safer nicotine alternatives, signaling a growing $350 billion market.
