Incisive coverage of the issues important to vaping. Plus critical debate over the issues and impacts of regulation in both Canada and the U.S.
As the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) prepares for COP11 in Geneva, its track record of silencing dissent and bending evidence to demonize safer nicotine products stands exposed.
Through tortured data, selective science, and an absolutist anti-nicotine agenda bankrolled by billionaire donors, the FCTC has shifted from a treaty against smoking to a template for exclusionary global health governance—one that ignores evidence, excludes dissenting experts, and punishes nations that embrace harm reduction.
Joining RegWatch to dissect this threat is Dr. Roger Bate, PhD economist, international health policy researcher, and nonresident scholar at the International Center for Law and Economics. Dr. Bate explains how WHO’s hostility to market-driven alternatives isn’t just misguided—it’s dangerous. The organization’s stance fuels illicit markets and cartels, undermines cessation science, emboldens prohibitionists, and replaces public-health pragmatism with billionaire-funded paternalism.
