Experts To Explore Anti-Vape Lies
Posted 9th July 2021 by Dave Cross
A panel of international experts are going to explore the global web of anti-vape lies and how it influences the public’s perspective on vaping and safer nicotine products. Headlined “The Battle Between Innovation and Bully Tactics”, the seventh episode of The Advocates Voice, or TAV, will premiere at 11am on Sunday, 11 July.
The panel will be led by Greece-based public health expert, Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos, the panel discussion will be simulcast on the Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates’ (CAPHRA) Facebook page (1).
Live questions from viewers to the panel are encouraged, according to the hosts CAPRHA, and say that TAV 7 will make fascinating and timely viewing.
TAV is gaining a strong following among Tobacco Harm Reduction supporters and the wider public. It follows mounting evidence, identifying well-known figures and entities at the centre of false accusations levelled at safer THR products. Inexcusable attacks on THR consumer advocates are also growing.
“Billionaire philanthropists are using their money to influence the World Health Organisation (WHO) - and in turn governments who rely on their guidance regarding tobacco policies. It’s a sophisticated global web of lies and Dr Farsalinos and the TAV panel will expose the truth,” said Nancy Loucas, CAPHRA's Executive Coordinator.
“Ignoring the science, WHO treats smoking and nicotine vaping the same. This disastrous approach towards safer nicotine vaping products continues to negatively impact smoking cessation rates, costing millions of lives globally.”
She told Planet of the Vapes that TAV 7 will also explore the role of billionaire philanthropist influence on the mainstream media and scientific journals.
“The same people funding academic institutions for their ‘research’ then assist in this research being broadcast via the mainstream media. It’s all about controlling public perception and promoting lies about anti-tobacco harm reduction,” added Ms Loucas.
She said some academics and scientists are effectively being bought and sold by billionaires and their foundations.

Loucas commented: “The strategy to corrupt the public and academic narrative through funding research and influencing the media is out of control. As well as presenting their lies as science, university researchers and scientists’ defamatory attacks on THR consumer advocates need to stop. They must be held to account.”
TAV 7 will discuss the best ways for consumer advocates to respond to such attacks.
“To think that vaping – the world’s most effective smoking cessation tool – is being demonised in such a systematic, global way needs to be fully exposed. TAV 7 will do just that.”
The panel will include leading Asia Pacific THR consumer advocates: Asa Saligupta (Director of ECST - ENDs Cigarette Smoke Thailand, Mirza Abeerchange.org/v4v-petition that urges the World Health Organisation (WHO) to respect consumer rights and to stop demonising Tobacco Harm Reduction options ahead of the next biennial meeting of the WHO Framework Convention of Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in November.
