For the UK to reach smoke-free status by 2030, the health initiatives should be encouraging vaping, not cracking down on it, argues Jason Reed
The World Health Organisation’s ‘Tobacco Free Initiative’ aims to speed up the gradual transition to a smoke-free world.
And yet, for some reason, it is also opposed to vaping, the safe alternative to smoking which is the best tool we have for helping people quit cigarettes.
It is clear, then, that the WHO doesn’t actually care about making us healthier. In reality, it just wants to accumulate more political control and centralise power over health policy.
Worryingly, our politicians are now starting to listen to the WHO’s harmful anti-vaping rhetoric. New health secretary Sajid Javid is reportedly weighing up introducing new restrictions on vaping to help reach the government’s target of making the country smoke-free by 2030.
