A summary of Prof. Stimson's points can be found here and ⬇️:

Professor Stimson:
"The UK is a world leader in #tobaccoharmreduction – expertise, governmental and institutional support, the data, and evidence that access to safer #nicotine products speeds up the switch away from #smoking."

Professor Stimson:
"The UK’s experience with #THR is being systematically ignored or worse, derided behind the scenes by the
@WHO and #FCTC process, instead of being highlighted as a best practice. Why is this?"
kachange.eu/uk-appg-vaping…
Professor Stimson:
"At a minimum, the UK delegation [to #COP9] should include someone from @PHE_uk and possibly from the @MHRAgovuk, a scientist and a consumer. There are precedents. The importance of this meeting merits the presence of the Minister."

Professor Stimson:
"The #FCTC #COP process needs to change to enable transparency. People affected by COP decisions, the public and press are excluded. There are only 20 seats in the public gallery. Proceedings should be live streamed and recorded."
