RightOn is Way Off

Date:

Canadian independent advocacy group RightOnCanada was created to push for human rights to be considered as key components of Canadian legislation.

Once focussed on asbestos and lead-containing paint, the body has turned its focus to fight against tobacco harm reduction products – denying the human rights of smokers to choose reduced harm in the process. It recently issued a letter attacking the independent Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW).

The Convention requires that countries reject any engagement or collaboration with the tobacco industry or organizations funded by the tobacco industry,” it states.
