WHO’s Misguided Call for Flavor Ban

The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for urgent action against e-cigarettes in an effort to protect youth. In today’s press release, they argue e-cigarettes are not effective for smoking cessation and harmful to health. It is a good thing WHO guidance is non-binding because, in their pursuit to protect youth, they are abandoning one billion smokers globally.

Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers’ Alliance, expressed his strong disapproval -

“The WHO’s latest stance on vaping flavours is not just misguided, it’s dangerously out of touch with scientific reality. By pushing for a blanket ban, the WHO blatantly disregards a wealth of scientific evidence that underscores the benefits of vaping when compared to alternatives. Flavoured e-cigarettes have been proven to increase the chances of successful smoking cessation by 230% compared to non-flavored alternatives. It’s appalling to see such a pivotal public health tool being dismissed by an organisation that should be at the forefront of harm reduction.”
