Innokin Weekly: UKVIA Backs Calls to Defund WHO
This story and others can be found on the new Innokin Weekly news blog HERE!
Great work Benedict Jones!
UKVIA backs calls to defund World Health Organization over hostile attacks on vaping
The World Health Organisation (WHO), which advises governments on health policy, has long been opposed to the growing adoption of vaping by smokers, including some extreme stances, such as calling on governments to ban open vaping devices.
Leaked documents reported on by the Daily Express suggest that WHO intends to use the COP9 summit, taking place this summer, as a platform to tell leading global health figures that e-cigarettes are as dangerous as smoking.
This was met with immediate backlash from UK All-Party Parliamentary Group Chair Mark Pawsey MP, who questions why the UK government plans to continue funding WHO, with a projected sum of £340 million over the next four years.
The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) is now joining calls for the UK to stop funding WHO, if it continues to issue advice that goes against the UK’s progressive stance on tobacco harm reduction:
“The UKVIA notes that this action flies in the face of the scientific reality of vaping in the UK, which has seen millions of people quit smoking in recent years. Research by British scientists has consistently shown vaping to be the most popular and successful aide to quitting smoking.
The Cochrane Review into e-cigarettes, which is widely recognised as the gold standard in terms of research in this area, highlights that existing studies show that vaping is nearly 50% more effective in helping smokers quit cigarettes than other methods of smoking cessation. The review found that as many as 11% of smokers using a nicotine e‐cigarette to stop smoking might successfully stop, compared to only 6% of smokers using nicotine‐replacement therapy or nicotine‐free e‐cigarettes, or 4% of people having no support or behavioural support only.”
John Dune, Director General of UKVIA said:
“The stance of the World Health Organization is extremely concerning. The vaping industry here in the UK, together with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Vaping, is right to call out these baseless attacks on the sector. Vaping is a great British success story, enabling millions of people to switch from smoking.”
He added: “The APPG is also right to call for the UK Government to reconsider the level of its funding to the World Health Organization in light of these reports. Thankfully now that the UK has left the EU it is no longer bound by the ridiculous and quite frankly dangerous WHO messaging urging the bloc to treat vaping in the same way as smoking.”
From Pete
Hey Phil,
Found you recently on YouTube and just wanted to add my voice to the thousands of others that I guess you’ve heard regarding vaping.
I’m 59 years old and live in the UK.I’ve smoked for 43 years until a few weeks ago, when I decided to try vaping to give up smoking, mainly to improve my oral hygiene.
I’ve tried so many times in the past, using patches, gum, you name the nicotine replacement, I’ve tried it. Nothing worked and I’ve never been able to stop for longer than a couple of days.
I’d previously been one of the idiots who thought that vaping was as bad as smoking. Gotta say I’ve been turned around 180 degrees on vaping and I’m now a vocal advocate of it!The health benefits I’m experiencing already are phenomenal! I was struggling to walk further than 100 yards, had severe joint pain in many joints, bad bowel problems, bad skin, the list goes on.
ALL of these issues have either been significantly reduced or have disappeared completely since I switched to vaping. So much so that, in all honesty, I’m astonished to see that smoking was the cause of so many of my health issues. I feel like a new man!
Keep doing what you’re doing man; you’re a force for good in this world and you should be proud that you make such a positive difference in so many people’s lives.Sad to see what’s happening re vaping in the US. Hope you can stick the rod of truth up the corporate empire’s ass.
Thank you.
Pete.
PS: I got the Adept Zlide, fell in love with the Zlide tank and got hold of a Coolfire Z50 too – my vaping journey has just begun 😀

Vaping Weekly: NHS to begin e-cigarette trial in A&E departments
Welcome to the very first edition of This Week in Vaping: a new regular blog format designed to keep you updated with all of the biggest vaping news developments which affect vapers and the vaping industry.
NHS to begin world-leading e-cigarette trial in UK A&E departments
The UK has been a world leader in tobacco harm reduction for several years now, with prominent health bodies such as Public Health England repeatedly advising that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking combustible cigarettes.
Despite this progressive stance on next-generation nicotine, introducing vaping devices to the NHS is a slow process, but efforts to tackle smoking rates in the UK are now accelerating, as the government aims to reach its 2030 smoke-free goal.
This year, the NHS will begin trials, led by the University of East Anglia in Norfolk, London, Leicester and Edinburgh. During the trial, starting Autumn 2021, some smokers in emergency departments will be supplied with vaping starter kits and given support, before being asked if they still smoke one, three and six months later.
Although we won’t see results of the trial published for some time, this is still hugely encouraging news for vaping in the UK. If the trial can demonstrate that vaping is an effective smoking cessation tool, we may see further utilization of vaping devices by the NHS in the future.
John Dunne, Director General of the UKVIA, said: “This is a hugely significant moment in the history of vaping and harm reduction. For the first time, following years of research and campaigning, we are finally at the point where the NHS looks to be fully embracing vaping and acknowledging its important role as the number one quit method.”
Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN21) calls for submissions
The eighth installment of the Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN) takes place in Liverpool, England, on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th June. Founded in 2014, with 200 delegates from 26 countries, GFN is the leading international conference focusing on the role of safer nicotine products that help people switch from smoking.
This year, conference organizers are inviting contributors to create five-minute presentations, sharing news and information about nicotine, dubbed “GFN Fives”. Presentations are welcomed within a variety of multimedia formats, including PowerPoint video presentations, descriptive videos, new science and technology demonstrations, interviews, and animations.
FDA attempts to clarify confusion over PMTA enforcement
FDA’s Pre-market Tobacco Application (PMTA) regulations have long been seen as the most fundamental change to the vaping industry in the U.S.
After several years of court appeals and lobbying from pro and anti-vaping organizations, manufacturers were given until September 9 2020 to make submissions for a PMTA. Any vaping product intended to be used with nicotine cannot legally be sold in the U.S. without obtaining a PMTA after September 9, 2021.
Due to the significant expense, complex guidelines and length of the process, many manufacturers were left confused as to when enforcement would begin. This problem was exacerbated by an unexpectedly massive number of applications. According to attorney Azim Chowdhury: “CTP Director Mitch Zeller said that FDA anticipated getting about 6,000 applications, and they wound up getting literally millions,”.
Due to protestations from FDA about the timeline of realistically assessing PMTAs, Judge Paul Grimm agreed that manufacturers who submitted by the deadline would be granted a one-year extension to sell their products, while they were under review, with further extensions possible on a case-by-case basis.
Unfortunately, due to the unexpectedly large number of applications, the FDA Centre for Tobacco Products (CTP) has been severely delayed in informing applicants of where they stand. This has led to some manufacturers being informed that they are being granted a “one-year extension” mistakenly.
In some cases, the manufacturer’s PMTAs may not be processed by September 9, 2021, due to the sheer volume. In these instances, it is not clear if further case-by-case basis extensions will be possible. Due to increasing concern over conflicting information, the FDA sent an email to all PMTA applicants on April 29, 2020, clarifying that the existing one-year extension would only apply until September 9, 2021. The agency has still not clearly explained what will happen to applicants who are not processed by this date. You can find the full timeline of this latest development in the PMTA saga here.
Finland plans tighter tobacco regulations
A new report by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) assessed the use of cigarettes, snus and e-cigarettes from 2000 to 2019. The data indicates a reduction in the use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes and an increase in the consumption of snus.
Even though cigarette consumption is in decline, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has announced proposals that will increase restrictions on public smoking, beginning January 1, 2022. If approved, these proposals would include restrictions on smoking in places such as bus stops, beaches, playgrounds and outdoor terraces.
The proposals also include new plain packaging regulations, which would remove brand names and logos from tobacco packaging, starting in 2023.
LATEST FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Death & Taxes | U.S. Approach to Vaping
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
For everyone, there’s nothing in life more certain than death and taxes. Yet if you are a smoker the risk of death and pain of taxation increases by orders of magnitude, often thanks to ill-conceived government action.
Case-in-point the United States of America and the growing hostility towards safer nicotine products, such as vaping.
In just a few short years anti-vaping campaigns, flavor bans and punitive tax measures have pushed countless vapers back to smoking; during a time when government professes a duty to keep the public safe.
Joining us today to talk about the U.S. approach to vaping and its macabre commitment to death and taxes is the writer, researcher and vape activist Lindsey Stroud, from the Taxpayers Protection Alliance.
