“The network of Bloomberg’s anti-vape organisations have leapt on the news that the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW) is to be taken to court. The case revolves around allegations of “improper coordination” between some tobacco companies and the Foundation by a bitter ex-employee. The smears continues in a Bloomberg publication and gets expanded to cover a number of leading harm reduction organisations and experts. Bloomberg News continued the assault on the FSFW’s reputation and added an ad-hominem attack on individual independent experts and consumer organisations. In the piece, the journalist smears Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association (CASAA), Roberto Sussman, Carmen Escrig, the International Network of Nicotine Consumer Organisations (INNCO), Julie Woessner, ProVapeo Mexico, Medical Organizations Supporting Vaping and E-cigarettes, Konstantinos Farsalinos, the E-Cigarette Research Advocates Group, Marewa Glover, Michael McGrady, Knowledge-Action-Change, Filter Magazine, Ricardo Polosa and the Center of Excellence for the Acceleration of Harm Reduction.”
