===2021 Jan 29 - [https://tobaccoreporter.com/2021/01/29/vietnam-urged-to-exercise-independence-in-regulaton/ Vietnam Urged to Set its Own THR Rules]=== | |||
*The International Network of Nicotine Consumers Organizations (INNCO) is urging the Vietnamese government to exercise “true independence” in its regulation of tobacco harm reduction (THR) products, warning that failure to adopt evidence-based guidelines will lead to substandard products and economic development losses. | |||
*INNCO’s concerns stem from the possibility that regulations will be drafted by the Vietnam Tobacco Control Fund, a long-time grantee of The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), a Bloomberg Philanthropies-funded organization that has repeatedly called for worldwide bans on all electronic nicotine delivery systems and other THR products in low- and middle-income countries. | |||

*The partners are the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the World Health Organization, and the World Lung Foundation. Bloomberg’s $125 million, two-year contribution is many times larger than any prior donation for global tobacco control and more than doubles the global total of private and public donor resources devoted to fighting tobacco use in developing countries, where more than two thirds of the world’s smokers live. All of the resources are dedicated outside the United States to specifically benefit low- and middle-income countries. | |||
*As part of this Initiative, a competitively awarded grant program for organizations in low- and middle-income countries will accelerate progress toward freedom from tobacco. Priority will be given to high-burden countries, particularly China, India, Indonesia, Russia, and Bangladesh, which together account for about half the world’s smokers. Grants are expected to be in the $50,000 – $500,000 range for up to 2 years. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the World Lung Foundation (working with International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union)) will work together to coordinate and administer the grant program. | |||
