A charity in support of nicotine vaping in Australia has accepted overseas funds from a group with links to tobacco multinationals.
Against their public policy, the Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association accepted $8000 dollars from a similar UK organisation that had been partially funded by tobacco companies.
“Harm reduction” aims to lessen the health risks of a product rather than banning it, but critics believe tobacco companies co-opt the term to improve their reputation.
