Earlier this week, the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) launched the much awaited global campaign, aiming to shape international public health policies in the hope of saving millions of lives otherwise lost to smoking worldwide.
‘Back Vaping. Beat Smoking’ is being launched at the heels of the infamous ‘COP 9’ conference, taking place this November, and the EU’s ‘Tobacco Products Directive’ (TPD) review, currently being discussed in Brussels. The WVA believes that these two major events will have a great effect on the directions lawmakers will take in regulating safer nicotine alternatives, and hopes that the campaign will give a voice to tobacco harm reduction experts.
A press release by the World Vapers Association (WVA) explained that this year will be a critical one in the shaping of health policies worldwide. “2021 is a critical year for public health policies globally. Two major milestones will determine if Governments grab the opportunity to save 200 million lives, or make decisions that will limit smokers’ access to life-changing quit tools.
The global ‘COP 9’ conference, taking place this November, will set the direction for anti-smoking and vaping policies worldwide. And the EU’s ‘Tobacco Products Directive’ laws, currently being discussed in Brussels, will act as the benchmark for vaping policies globally.”
