Our friends at Vapor Voice have a story up about Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr., who bravely made a speech before the ninth Conference of the Parties (COP9) about the need to recognize new science when deciding how to address the global smoking problem.
Secretary Locsin Jr. urged the World Health Organization “to regain the momentum” of tobacco control and consider “evolving and latest scientific information” in solving the global smoking problem.
Secretary Locsin Jr. was predictably attacked by anti-vaping activists, many of whom receive funding from billionaire former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg. We thank him for not backing down!
