But today, the focus on endgame is forgotten as the tobacco control movement intensifies efforts to eradicate vaping, the only technology proven both scalable and appealing to smokers as a viable alternative to smoking.<br \/>\nTobacco control fixates on preventing up-take of smoking and complete cessation of nicotine use. While technologies like vaping, represent the principles of reduced risk and harm reduction.<\/p>\n<p>Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Derek Yach, President of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW) and former World Health Organization (WHO) cabinet director and executive director for noncommunicable diseases and mental health where he was deeply involved with the development of the world\u2019s treaty on tobacco control, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).<\/p>\n<p>At the forefront of global debate, hear Dr. Yach discuss the promise of tobacco harm reduction; why the WHO appears so vehemently opposed to harm reduction strategies; and whether increasing attacks on vaping (science and policy) and the reaction to crisis (youth epidemic, EVALI, and COVID19) have increased harm due to tobacco-related disease.<\/p>\n<p>Only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com<\/p>\n<p>Live Streamed: June 17, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Sr. Producer: Cindy Schmidt<br \/>\nExec.
