Is the World Health Organization overstepping its mandate? In this sixth episode of Season 2 of Let's Clear Things Up (Aclaremos las Cosas), a Vaping Today project, hosts Manuel and Alejandra sit down with Jeannie Cameron, CEO of JCIC International and international law expert.

We take a deep dive into the controversy surrounding Article 2.1 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and question the legality of new measures that seem to bypass harm reduction strategies. Jeannie breaks down why the lack of transparency within the WHO is alarming compared to other bodies like the WTO, and how the exclusion of civil society and consumer groups is impacting the future of global public health.

In this episode:

• Is Article 2.1 a legal "overreach"?

• The lack of enforcement and accountability mechanisms in the FCTC.

• Transparency: Why are doors being closed to the press and public?

• The crucial role of harm reduction in national sovereignty.

• La falta de mecanismos de rendición de cuentas en el CMCT.

In this episode of "Let's Get Clear," we talk with Mark Tyndall, a Canadian epidemiologist and one of the most recognized voices in HIV and drug use harm reduction. We discuss what public health has learned from supervised consumption rooms and clean needle programs, and why that logic disappears when the conversation turns to nicotine and e-cigarettes.

We analyze why it is so difficult to feel compassion for smokers, the idea that there are "good" and "bad" addictions, the ethical consequences of denying lower-risk products to millions of smokers, and the cultural differences between models such as the British and American approaches to vaping and nicotine.

Available in Spanish and in the original English version to share with doctors, journalists, regulators, and harm reduction advocates around the world.
