“Tobacco Harm-Reduction Experts” are pushing WHO to loosen its stance on new tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products and nicotine pouches.
These products are falsely marketed as safer and more sustainable options to deadly cigarettes, misleading consumers, media and international institutions.
