The tobacco and related industries have been actively mobilizing their allies to challenge the harm reduction position of the WHO and the Conference of the Parties. This will all come to a head during the Ninth Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP9) to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), held virtually beginning 8th November 2021.

This page lists some of the articles spun out by around 20 actors against WHO or the COP, the governing body of the global tobacco control treaty which comprises of all Parties to the treaty. Notably, similar messages from the same actors are repeated in targeted news outlets and commercial vaping sites; and many of the said actors that claim to be independent have been revealed to be linked indirectly to Philip Morris International, FSFW and other entities receiving tobacco funding) . Some of the more vocal actors, like Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates, mounted a campaign including an open letter and petition in 5 languages, a website of testimonials of vapers supposedly including governments submissions, and a multimedia page
