"Lost in all the teen-focused #HarmReduction denialist hysteria funded by @MikeBloomberg & @robinkoval are the 31 million Americans who still smoke; the 480,000 US deaths that result from that every year; and the ~10+ million US adults who now use #SaferNicotine." ~ Charles Gardner, PhD.
Hi Dear Friends,
It's always a pleasure to greet you. If you are in Canada, Health Canada is providing a chance to submit a review of the TVPA (Canada) Tobacco Vaping Products Act. Accessing this website, allows adult consumers, an opportunity to submit their thoughts on this review process.
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 #GFN22 has announced its 3rd Keynote Speaker: Nancy Loucas. 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.
