  • Does a human rights-based approach to harm reduction support commercialized harm reduction? Brief research

    Open AccessNeil Sircar, Mary Fleming et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    In recent years, the tobacco industry has been pushing a narrative that their newer lines of products—including electronic nicotine delivery devices—are offered in part to meet a social responsibility of providing potentially reduced-harm choices to their consumers. While some of the newer tobacco products might potentially be less harmful than combustible tobacco products, there is also significant deviation from the very concept of harm reducti…

  • Heated tobacco products: Another tobacco industry global strategy to slow progress in tobacco control

    Stella Aguinaga Bialou, Stella A Bialous et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    There has been a global decline in tobacco consumption that, if continued, will negatively impact the tobacco industry's profits. This decline led the industry to invent and market new products, including heated tobacco products (HTP). HTP are an extension of the industry's strategies to undermine government's tobacco regulatory efforts as they are being promoted as part of the solution for the tobacco epidemic. Under the moniker of 'harm reducti…

  • Role of stakeholders in Nigeria’s tobacco control journey after the FCTC: Lessons for tobacco control advocacy in low-income and middle-income countries

    Catherine O Egbe, Stella Aguinaga Bialou et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2018

    The Policy Dystopia Model and WHO categories of industry interference provide a helpful framework for understanding tobacco control debates in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) as in high-income countries. One difference in LMIC is the important role of international tobacco control advocates in supporting national tobacco control advocates. This partnership is important in pushing for FCTC-compliant legislation and countering industry activiti…

  • United Nations Global Compact: An ‘Inroad’ into the UN and reputation boost for the tobacco industry

    Yvette van der Eijk, Patricia A McDaniel et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2017

    Excluding tobacco manufacturers from UNGC participation is an important step to limit the tobacco industry's ability to influence the UN and promote its image and, by extension, its deadly products. It is important to monitor enforcement of this policy and resist the engagement of tobacco industry front groups, such as industry-funded foundations, with the UNGC

  • Whose standard is it, anyway? How the tobacco industry determines the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for tobacco and tobacco products

    Stella Aguinaga Bialou, Stella A Bialous et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2001

    ISO's tobacco and tobacco products standards are not adequate to guide tobacco products regulatory policies, and no health claims can be made based on ISO's tobacco products standards. There is an urgent need for tobacco control advocates and groups worldwide to be more involved with the work of the ISO, both directly and through their national standardisation organisations
