Proponents of vaping products say that this could have a deadly effect on smokers who can’t quit.Because sin taxes make products more expensive, which means many smokers won’t be able to afford the devices.If such a policy goes through, the vaping lobby says the government will be guilty of a human rights violation akin to Aids denialism.? Between 1999 to 2008, the South African government largely denied that Aids was a disease caused by a virus called HIV.
As a result, a third of a million people died unnecessarily. Most of these people used government facilities since antiretrovirals were available in the private sector.First of all, the government didn’t have any treatment plans for HIV in the Aids denialism days.
Why are vandykjoan & DylanBushZA saying the tobacco industry is comparing vaping to HIV treatment? If they have evidence that this is the case, they should have provided it. Even if true, there are other, more often used arguments. The article looks like a gigantic straw man.
