Why can't they just accept that vaping is more effective for people wanting to kick or reduce tobacco use than anything else, l smoked 30+ aday and tried all the pills and potions my doc could throw at me, my ego twists and kangers (a little help from mini vivi's but disappointed with those) stopped me inside 2 weeks, ok with a couple of slips and one was leaving my pv at home, but l'm off the death sticks hopefully for good, banning them is as bad as saying stinkies are acceptable ie a slow death (possibly) but a healthy alternative is not, where's the sense ?????

There are 2 things I dislike about that link
1) the sustainable Alternatives to tobacco growing
2) Control and prevention of smokeless tobacco products and Electronic nicotine Delivery systems
Does this mean they are trying to find green alternatives for growing more tobacco to keep those tax dollars (pounds) rolling in whilst banning ecigs so that we are forced back into smoking and keeping the smoking cycle going? Maybe it is time to think of stocking up after all.

Good News?Item 6.5 Control and prevention of smokeless tobacco products and electronic nicotine delivery systems Following presentations of the reports contained in documents FCTC/COP/5/12 and FCTC/COP/5/13 by the Convention Secretariat, the Committee discussed the topics. The item remained open.

Thanks for posting.
We need to flood these people with protest.
Prevention?
What's to prevent? The chance of living a few extra years? The loss of income for big tobacco, pharmaceutical companies and the governments?

Its a scandal that WHO dont hold the meeting in an honest open and upfront way and release the results after the meeting,it only leads to speculation of what are they trying to hide (or hiding behind)
