On July 30, according to foreign news reports, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Arab News Network, Ross Anderson, stated that in WHO’s latest attempt on public health-requesting a ban on the sale and use of e-cigarette devices-WHO has given up many years ago. The fighting enemy declares war: the tobacco company.

Of course, Big Tobacco is a fair game. Every year, more than 8 million people die from tobacco use or exposure to tobacco smoke, and before they die, the tobacco industry covers up evidence that its products are lethal and systematically lied about its lethal effects.

However, the WHO's attack on tobacco companies is unpleasant, and these tobacco companies now manufacture many electronic cigarette devices that enable smokers to quit the habit of tobacco. "I don't believe... you will suddenly go from being a real problem to being part of the solution." said Ruediger Krech, director of the WHO Department of Health Promotion.

Really? why not?

The organization threatened to deny millions of ex-smokers the easy access to life-saving alternatives to tobacco.

The German industrial group Krupp produced weapons and ammunition that killed millions of people from the 17th century to the Second World War, but now it makes most of the world's railway infrastructure. Hugo Boss once provided uniforms for the Hitler Youth League and the Waffen SS in Nazi Germany, and is now one of the world's leading fashion companies. It is not impossible for Krech to travel on a train made by Krupp in a Hugo Boss suit.

Is it true that only the tobacco company is invincible?

More seriously, the WHO has decided to punish tobacco companies that have rashly switched from lethal products to benign products.

In a report on e-cigarettes released on Tuesday, the World Health Organization endorsed 32 countries that ban the sale and use of e-cigarette devices.

For a public health agency, this is a completely absurd position. In these 32 countries, people are still free to endanger their lives by smoking, but the law prohibits the use of devices. In one survey after another, these devices are undoubtedly the most available to help smokers quit smoking. Useful ways.

The WHO is obviously biased when using the term e-cigarette. A cigarette is a paper tube filled with tobacco, and the user applies a flame to it and inhales the resulting smoke. The electronic cigarette device does not contain tobacco, does not require flames, and does not produce smoke. It is not a cigarette, whether it is an electronic cigarette or other cigarettes, if it is implied that it is, the WHO is guilty of a crime related to demonization.

Its hypothesis seems to be a choice between smoking e-cigarettes and inhaling only clean fresh air. If this is indeed a choice, then only fools will smoke e-cigarettes-but for former smokers who account for the vast majority of adult e-cigarette users, this is not the case. Nicotine is a relatively harmless substance, but it can be addictive. For former smokers, the choice is between smoking e-cigarettes and resuming tobacco habits.

The WHO is right to require strict supervision to curb the sale of e-cigarette devices to young people who have never smoked tobacco, and there is evidence that some irresponsible manufacturers’ advertising campaigns are aimed at this market. This should be eliminated.

However, when demanding full restrictions on the sale and use of e-cigarette devices, the WHO threatened to deny millions of ex-smokers easy access to life-saving alternatives to tobacco and abandon its responsibility to protect global public health.
