This tweet from @EricCrampton is spot on. Why did @nzherald run a clearly biased piece of misinformation??? #nzpol #nzmedia
The Otago public health people are doing disinformation, again. The SmokeFree2025 goal was always population average. Easily checked online. Now they're claiming in Herald that it isn't achieved unless achieved for every population subgroup. https://t.co/44MWHxw2G0

"...we should be celebrating..." says Robert Beaglehole who, along with the NZ delegation, faced criticism by biased @FCTCofficial at COP11. NZ should withdraw from this corrupt global cartel. https://t.co/WkZ2jB1z7U

@Rainmaker1973 It took me 2 minutes with Google Reverse Image Search to learn that the photo you shared is a stock image x-ray of a patient with lung cancer, not "popcorn lung." There are no images of patients with "popcorn lung" from vaping because that is a myth. https://t.co/43CRLKM3FX

'ASH NZ has released the results of its survey which asks more than 30,000 Year 10 students about their smoking habits. It shows 7.1% of the age group vape daily - down from the 10% peak in 2022 - and less than a third have ever tried it.' https://t.co/WuY29VaHj3

When WHO makes firm claims that its prohibitions have been successful, it should provide links to the supporting data. Or does it think it is exempt from providing evidence to support its favoured policies?
One year ago, Viet Nam’s National Assembly took a historic decision to ban e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, placing public health, especially the health of young people, at the center of national policy and earned global recognition. Today, we already see the initial

Perhaps the corrupt officials in @FCTCofficial & their enablers @GATC_int should have a read of this from little ol’NZ that they criticise so much. Well done @CaseyCostelloMP @minhealthnz Youth smoking has basically ended https://t.co/RjthWd1Gyv via @dpfdpf

For you @ParliamentofRSA @HealthZA New Zealand approach to less harmful alternatives has seen a dramatic reduction in smoking rates. This is forward-looking @FCTCofficial #FCTCCOP11 #COP11
🇳🇿 New Zealand just set the tone at #COP11. Their message was simple and impossible to ignore: harm reduction works, consumers must be respected, smokers have to be able to quit using their freedom to choose vaping, and the smoking rates will prove its effectiveness. When

"Clearly, there is a major misinformation campaign going on within the tobacco control movement. Many of these groups are using false information to discourage smokers from quitting and entice ex-smokers to return to smoking." says @mbsiegel. https://t.co/oSGjMOcBCy
