The UK and the World Health Organization have sparked a new quarrel, and the WHO is trying to ban e-cigarettes. Anti-smoking charities are targeting the controversial global health leaders as they try to outlaw safer alternatives to smoking — after the World Health Organization said they thought they were as harmful as cigarettes.

Clive Bates, head of the Smoking and Health Initiative in the UK, said the WHO will protect the cigarette trade from competition.

As a result of Brexit, the UK will stand up for the first time against health officials at the health austerity smoking summit to be held next week.

A week ago, the NHS stated that it could prescribe e-cigarettes on the NHS to help people quit smoking.

England’s e-cigarette prescription will make it the first country in the world to prescribe e-cigarettes as a medical product.

The WHO called them "harmful. The head of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said earlier this year: If they are not banned, the government should adopt appropriate policies to protect their people from the electronic nicotine delivery system. And prevent them from being ingested by children, adolescents and other vulnerable groups.

Mr. Bates added: The only impact of the World Health Organization’s brutal attempt to ban e-cigarettes is to protect the cigarette trade from competition, promote the black market, stimulate harmful workarounds, foster criminal networks, harm young people, and prolong avoidable smoking related The epidemic of disease.

He added: I hope that government representatives will eventually stand up against the WHO, apply real-world policy and discipline, and reject their dishonesty stand.
