If the @EU_Commission wants to crack down on disinformation, it should start by censuring @OliverVarhelyi for lying about #vaping, #smoking and #nicotine risks. PQ from @weimers reveals that "vaping is as bas as smoking" is now official EU policy. https://t.co/Sz3pYQqY03

On 25/09, the WHO will host its 4th high-level meeting on NCDs. One strategy they have is to #tobacconize all "health harming industries", excluding them from policy processes. Industries pretend this isn't an issue. If they don't grow a pair, soon this is what EU forms will say.

This is it! the final chance to defend harm reduction in the EU’s Cardiovascular Health Plan. Don’t let reduced-risk products be misrepresented. Make your voice count today: https://t.co/Y4BKfnUQ9f

This narrative looks deliberate. Everything is portrayed as equally bad, even though the science says otherwise. That is not honest policymaking. Citizens are not fooled, and they should not accept it. Tell Brussels what you think here 👉 https://t.co/pTaIew8q5K

When policymakers say “vaping = smoking,” they are spreading misinformation. Citizens deserve accuracy, not slogans. Harm reduction works; pretending it doesn’t is bad politics and worse public health.

The Cardiovascular Health Plan should be a landmark in prevention. Instead, it risks becoming a missed opportunity that could cost lives rather than save them. This is not just careless, it is dangerous.

Ignoring harm reduction will not end smoking. It will only strip away safer options and erode public trust in health authorities. When people see ideology replacing evidence, they stop listening altogether. @OliverVarhelyi on a EU Cardiovascular Health Plan 👇

The EU consultation on the Cardiovascular Health Plan is open. If you care about science-based policy, make your voice heard. Tell Brussels why vaping is not smoking.

No one claims vaping or other reduced-risk products are risk-free. But equating them with smoking is false. Policy should build on evidence, not fear and lies.

@aEUcitizen @DrSarahEJackson @jkelovuori @RobertoSussman @PruenRichard @whycherrywhy @GoBeepUK @MOates_ @EngelmannPeter @vonderleyen Even more despicable is the fact that Mr. Valhelyi cannot NOT know the evidence about vaping aka tobacco harm reduction. (SWE is not far off, no?)

There is still time to act. The consultation remains open. Tell Brussels to stop misleading citizens and start following science. Add your response here 👉 https://t.co/5Dxr7YzNks

So the question becomes: is this really about health or about ideology? The evidence for harm reduction is not hidden. It is published, peer-reviewed and available for anyone who wants to see it. Yet it is ignored.

Reduced-risk products give smokers a lifeline. Treating them as equally harmful wipes away years of progress in harm reduction and leaves people stuck with the most dangerous option.

Something strange has slipped into the EU’s draft Cardiovascular Health Plan. Vaping and other reduced-risk products are treated in the exact same way as cigarettes. That is not just surprising, it is deeply questionable. #HealthUnion

Seven member states have voiced strong objections to the plans as they encroach on the fundamental EU principle of the free movement of goods. https://t.co/7zRyEuiw3J

New episode drop! 🍿 @chiappa_claudia @GPeseckyt
🚨 Busted: EU Commission to anti-vape NGOs - stop lobbying us with public money. Both ENSP and SFP have been warned their taxpayer-funded lobbying “may entail a reputational risk for the Union.”

The result of hiring narrative pushers over experts to inform your policy. Looking at you @OpenEvidence @ENSP
“Vaping kills,” they say — despite the evidence. If they’re willing to lie about this, what else can’t we trust them on? 👇 Read our latest op-ed: https://t.co/WbGsnI3qHf

New from @peterbeckett 🚨 A pyrrhic victory? The EU vaping ban passed, but key Member States refuse to comply. Czechia, Germany, Italy, & others slam the proposal for ignoring harm reduction science. Where does this leave vapers? #Vaping #HarmReduction

The European Commission’s recommendation that Member States ban vaping everywhere has been agreed, but only because multiple Member States added riders saying that they’ll essentially refuse to...
