How do you feel about a tobacco company producing inhalers?

ELF made a statement in September 2021 about the purchase of the company Vectura, which produces inhalers, by Philip Morris International, a tobacco company. https://europeanlung.org/en/news-and-blog/elf-response-to-sale-of-vectura-to-philip-morris-international/.

Information to users of inhalers

Now a document has been developed by a number of organisations in the UK, including Asthma UK and British Lung Foundation (now Asthma and Lungs UK), to provide advice to people who want to know if their inhaler is affected and what to do if they want to change. https://www.blf.org.uk/sites/default/files/Patient%20information%20about%20inhaler%20links%20to%20the%20tobacco%20industry.pdf

Survey about your views

In addition, the COPD Foundation in the US are carrying out a survey to gather the views of people using inhalers to find out their thoughts. Please find here the links to the survey:
