“The WHO continues to use taxpayer resources to promote projects that are not only simply contrary to science, but are downright dangerous and hinder (rather than help) public health around the world. A recent example of this is a new campaign by the WHO attempting to “warn” persons of the danger of reduced risk alternatives to deadly combustible tobacco, such as electronic cigarettes. This particular ideological obsession by WHO bureaucrats has puzzled public health experts, given that the world’s leading health authorities have determined vaping to be 95 percent safer than smoking, and is a quitting aid three times more effective than more traditional nicotine replacement therapies. Particularly egregious was a new campaign launched last week by the WHO to promote a claim that vaping causes heart attacks. To support this campaign, they cite research by former University of California academic Professor Stanton Glantz. This study, however, has been completely debunked and retracted by the journal where it was first published, after it was discovered that the heart attacks in the study took place prior to the users commencing vaping. As such, absent the existence of time-travel devices, it is simply impossible to conclude that vaping causes heart attacks. Despite the scientific malpractice of Glantz, the WHO chose to use it to support a campaign.”
