🇿🇦Presented to South Africa’s Committee on Health: Vaping is a crucial harm reduction tool, not the enemy. Treating vaping like smoking ignores science and risks driving people back to cigarettes or to the black market. parliament.gov.za/press-releases…
"advance tobacco control, with a focus on the harms of vaping" Only in the EU and WHO world does it make sense to ignore 8 million smoking deaths a year and wage war on vaping instead of supporting harm reduction. You couldn’t make up this level of policy failure.
WHO/Europe and the EU will keep working side by side to confront public health challenges head-on - ensuring #health stays above politics and serves everyone, everywhere. In my recent exchange with EU Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi, we agreed to 🔹strengthen mental health…

🚨 We’re making some noise, and it’s being heard! WVA and our allies are calling out the WHO & Bloomberg for waging a war on harm reduction. It’s time to stop ignoring the people most affected. #VoicesUnheard #ConsumersMatter article.wn.com/view/2025/07/1…
Thank you @ElisabethSvan! 🙏

Sweden, Czech Republic, and Greece are showing the EU what tobacco harm reduction looks like—record drops in smoking rates thanks to consumer-friendly policies. Brussels must stop ignoring the evidence. Read my latest OPED: theparliamentmagazine.eu/partner/articl… #ChampionsOfChange
Should Canada increase sin taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and sugary drinks as suggested by the WHO?
🏆 While Sweden, Greece & Czechia celebrate historic wins in harm reduction, Brussels is still playing catch-up. The EU can’t afford to ignore the evidence any longer. 📖 Read why it’s time to follow the champions of change: theparliamentmagazine.eu/partner/articl…

Time for EU health policymakers to take note: Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Greece are leading the way in tobacco harm reduction. Read @albergomezhdez's latest OPED on why the rest of Europe should follow their example. #ChampionsOfChange brusselsreport.eu/2025/07/06/whe…
