Difficult to tell Tom. However, Australian NGOs in tobacco control often participate in international networks that receive this support, so influence can be indirect even if direct funding figures aren’t always transparent.
Michael Bloomberg is the global health ambasador for WHO. His reach goes a long way.
Out of 21 NGO that he finances 15 are for tobacco control.
Recently Vietnam, who has a 41% of adult smokers, under the direct influence of the WHO banned electronic cigarettes.
It is curious that countries that have such different political systems, economic status, or geographical position, ban vaping without much after thought. From Norway to South Africa, from Mexico to Tajikistan.
There is no legal or semi scientific cover anymore. Straight out prohibition.
But somehow all these countries are members of the WHO.
It is like money laundering, but instead hides the lives lost… It is criminal, or if it isn’t it should be.
How tragic, sad and warped to be part of this 😢
On a serious level, how much of an influence do bloomberg's “envelopes of death” have on current policies?
