The European Electronic Cigarette Alliance (IEVA) urges the World Health Organization (WHO) to focus on the future of millions of smokers around the world, “rather than its own counterproductive'quit smoking or die' dogma.” Although the WHO has accepted the reduction in some cases Tobacco harms, but it ignores the importance of reducing tobacco harm. IEVA is an association dedicated to making positive contributions to harm reduction and public health. It claims to be "the only pan-European association that aims to unite associations, companies, manufacturers and wholesalers in the e-cigarette industry and provide them with responsible representatives in Europe.

"In discussing the infamous WHO FCTC COP9 currently being held in Geneva, the press release emphasized that although the importance of reducing the harm of tobacco is still accepted under other circumstances, the WHO has ignored the importance of reducing the harm of tobacco. "There is a certainty. The evidence shows that: completely replacing combustible tobacco cigarettes with [vaping] can reduce users’ exposure to a variety of toxic substances and carcinogens present in combustible tobacco cigarettes. "Earlier this year, the COP9 organizers announced that they would not discuss or make decisions on tobacco hazard reduction (THR) products at COP9. It was emphasized that any relevant documents should still be submitted to COP9 for reference.

However, any substantive discussions related to "smokeless tobacco and heated tobacco products" and "new and emerging tobacco products" will be postponed to COP10 in 2023. In response, Nancy Loucas, executive coordinator of the Asia-Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates Alliance (CAPHRA), commented on this, saying that she believes that discussions and decisions on safer nicotine alternatives will still take place at COP9.

"However, it is now clear that this is entirely an excuse aimed at minimizing the growing opposition to the WHO anti-e-cigarette agenda." sCOPe: Review of COP9's live broadcast To this end, a global broadcast hosting ( THR) Experts and consumers advocate for safer nicotine products. Ongoing events are currently being held concurrently with COP9. "Called ‘sCOPe’ or ‘ubiquitous streaming consumer’, the five-day live broadcast will be co-broadcast via YouTube and Facebook.

Speakers and panel members will challenge and review COP9-including who is influencing and funding its efforts to demonize e-cigarettes, and why," announced a recent press release. The letter from health experts to WHO is similarly this month Earlier, 100 top experts in the field of public health and tobacco harm reduction sent a clear message to the World Health Organization calling for an end to the war on e-cigarettes and other nicotine substitutes.

The experts include Professor Bernhard Mayer, a scientific adviser to the World Electronic Cigarette Alliance (WVA), and Dr. Colin Mendelsohn, an Australian public health expert, who emphasized that the WHO’s current anti-e-cigarette methods will “cause more deaths and suffering from smoking.” "100 experts spoke. Consumers agreed that e-cigarettes and other ways to reduce the harm of tobacco must be at the forefront of saving lives. The WHO temporarily ignored this fact, but we ask them to listen. 200 million lives depend on it. .

It’s time to end the e-cigarette war," said WVA Director Michael Randall.
