    I have cancelled my participation in the @ConcordiaSummit after the tobacco industry, which profits from destroying health, announced it is sponsoring the event. #NoTobacco #BeatNCDs #UNGAhttps://twitter.com/concordiasummit/status/1043207885042405376 …

    The goals of our relationship w/ @InsidePMI PMI are twofold. Together, we're looking to improve cross-sector dialogue on innovation & regulation on reduced harm products, while working towards improving the overall health of all people and the planet. https://bit.ly/2I2KizL

        Thank you Dr Tedros. If the tobacco industry is truly interested in "harm reduction", the solution is easy. Stop making cigarettes.

        If the #WHO is truly interested in harm reduction, it should stop denying the overwhelming scientific consensus that #vaping is #harmless and prevents #smoking

        Hi Ambassador Nordström, I was going to contact you anyway. Making a PR thing of this lends a lot of credibility and ooumph to the FCTC secretariat recommendation to ban global user civil society from observing at the COP 8. Is that also a good decision? Thank you for reply.

        Unhealthy commodities industries like #Tobacco, #Alcohol and unhealthy food have no place at the table when it comes to health policy making. Well done

        Well done! Bold leadership! Putting people & planet before profit. Much needed to achieve #SDGs & #HealthForAll. Big Tobacco & Big Alcohol are tightly linked & same type of industry. Altria (PMI in U.S.) owns major stake in world's biggest brewer AB InBev #BigAlcoholExposed
