Can This Digital Human Help Smokers Quit? Seems World Health Organization (WHO) programmed #Florence to lie! Answers re #smoking & #COVID19; & on #ecigs effectiveness to quit are wrong. Not heard of #snus or #IQOS to reduce exposure! ⁦U.S. FDA⁩ note ⁦@SmokeFreeFdn⁩ Try it uk.pcmag.com/health-fitness…

The new The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction Burning Issues report addresses the growing rate of #smokers worldwide and some of the innovative approaches used to tackle the global smoking epidemic: gsthr.org

This is a great time to remind those *genuinely* interested in public health to check out what WHO FCTC need to really focus on to make true global impact. 1. 15yearsconference.net 2. Special issue of @drugs_today on FCTC emerald.com/insight/public… 3. The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction

"There should be one guiding principle for tobacco control: to reduce harm to the greatest extent and as quickly as possible." ICYMI: Clive Bates of The Counterfactual in Tobacco Reporter

⁦@ehsanlatif15⁩ highlights the dysfunctional global tobacco control approach led by ⁦WHO FCTC⁩ All policy, but no actual practice change. Time to re-view 15yearsconference.net !!! ⁦Derek Yach⁩ ⁦⁦@GerryStimson⁩ smokefreeworld.org/fctc-secretari…

Also, a more fundamental disconnect: 'harm reduction strategies' is used by the World Health Organization (WHO) WHO FCTC in the text of the FCTC, in defining tobacco control. Can someone please remind them? Douglas Bettcher Derek Yach

smokingcessationandhealth.co.uk/sponsors/ Public health folks, Pharma, app and e-cig companies come together to support smoking cessation in UK. Truly patient-centric and embracing harm reduction. ⁦@SwitchFinder⁩ ⁦Louise⁩ ⁦@ASH_LDN⁩ ⁦NCSCT⁩ ⁦IBVTA⁩

Our event has a new, updated logo! A "16 Years Conference" online event in summer 2021 to remind (again!) WHO FCTC and the World Health Organization (WHO) on what they are missing with tobacco control in LMICs, neglected user populations and Tobacco Harm Reduction. Of course, event open to all!

So how does this sit with Tobacco Control who publish Tobacco Control Research Group propaganda stigmatising vapers, denying disadvantaged smokers access to safer nicotine alternatives (e.g. e-cigs) that are endorsed by @PHE_uk Cancer Research UK Policy and @ASH_LDN? NNAlliance NCSCT Professor Ahmed Hankir The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction

Intriguing sponsor line up! Either: TCs with “ANDS/RRPs/SNPs/ENDS..” do not want to be been anywhere near a “cessation” conference, lest they be accused of making a cessation claim. (THR is ok) Or: TCs being excluded by the organisers (IBVTA is ok!) @GerryStimson Gregory Conley

Around the same time, didn’t Cancer Research UK Policy also fund Tobacco Control Research Group who blatantly stigmatise vapers and vaper advocates...Stigmatising folks who have GIVEN up smoking? What a criminal waste of charity money! Charity Commission Clive Bates The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction Linda Bauld INNCOorg

With 1 billion smokers worldwide, many advocate for #harmreduction. But some may ask: “What exactly does this mean?” Derek Yach (Derek Yach) breaks down the importance of harm reduction in the fight to end smoking. #IHRD #InternationalHarmReductionDay

Derek Yach (Derek Yach) recently spoke with Simon Clark on euronews about #Oxfordshire’s #outdoorsmokingban. Derek said, “We should think about how we could do it in ways that are empathetic.” Smokers need better cessation methods and access to #harmreduction products.

Our plans to hold a transparent & inclusive meeting during the proceedings of WHO FCTC #COP9 are being firmed up. We will highlight how to truly and positively impact public health. Watch this space! #FCTC4All @SmokeFreeFdn Derek Yach Global Forum on Nicotine INNCOorg Mark Pawsey

Each of the 15 authors of this article presided over SRNT, the top tobacco research society in the world. These experts agree there must be a rebalancing of society’s consideration of vaping and its potential to help adult smokers quit. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…
