"All over the world, adult vapers are now relapsing to smoking because of disinformation funded by @BloombergDotOrg" ~ Charles Gardner, Ph.D..
Hi Dear Friends,
It's always a pleasure to greet you. We will be uploading the Webinar: Are you feeling Burnout? to YouTube shortly, if you didn't have the chance to assist we will invite you to watch the replay, as a lot of interesting topics were discussed.
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.
The "topic of the month" (#SNEWS) for February will be #TherapeuticNicotine. You can access a weekly updated list of studies at the link: www.innco.org/topic. The studies show nicotine health benefits, from weight control to reducing symptoms of ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and more. We will kindly ask if you can send out at least one social media post each day for the remainder of February.
The #GFN22 has announced its 2nd Keynote Speaker: Dr. Mark Tyndall. The Global Forum on Nicotine will take place in Warsaw from the 16th to the 18th of June, the event will also be Livestream, if you like to register please click here.
