Delegates to the 6th Summit on Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) have called for the alignment of communication to fight misinformation on THR, stressing that people need to get clear and strong messages about the scientific evidence on the benefits of harm reduction products in order to counteract the misinformation launched by opposing parts.
Health experts, especially those specialized in harm reduction, have declared as irrelevant the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), stating that in its current form, the instrument is not capable of influencing change in reducing harm among tobacco smokers.
