Despite 20 years of FCTC and billions spent on MPOWER, smoking rates remain high in Asia. Safer alternatives like vaping must be part of the solution. #THR #RightToHealth #CoP11 #AsiaPacific bit.ly/4lFhBLk

Why is WHO ignoring evidence from the UK, Japan, and New Zealand, where harm reduction is saving lives? Let’s put people, not politics, at the center of policy. #FCTC #THR #VapingSavesLives bit.ly/4lFhBLk

Harm reduction is a human right. The WHO knows this from AIDS and drug policy. Why not apply the same logic to tobacco? #HumanRights #RightToHealth #THR bit.ly/4lFhBLk

NZ MP champions our success at reducing smoking 🚬 among youth, Māori and she didn’t mention but among those with the highest rates — people on the lowest incomes. I hope this is the prelude to reversing the ban on one of the lowest risk alternatives to smoking — oral nicotine…
