"Tips for talking to #HarmReduction deniers: Number one: Always lead with common ground, e.g., a goal you that you can both embrace (e.g., teens should not vape, or reducing smoking rates)." ~ Charles Gardner, PhD.
Hi Dear Friends,
It's always a pleasure to greet you. We will like to thank the member organizations for their reply concerning the General Assembly.
ANESVAP is asking for help with a petition. "Vaping is at risk. 2022 is seen as the year of the great regulatory reform in which the Government wants to end vaping. The draft of the Smoking Plan, the 2022 Regulatory Plan, and the recent denigrating campaigns by the Ministry of Health seek to misinform and confuse, making the population believe that smoking and vaping are equally harmful." Angeles Muntadas-Prim.
