De Griekse Vapers&#039; Alliance en de World Vapers&#039; Alliance (WVA) waarschuwen dat deze maatregel de aanzienlijke vooruitgang die het land heeft geboekt bij het terugdringen van het aantal rokers teniet kan doen en de volksgezondheid in gevaar kan brengen.<\/p>\n<p>Sinds Griekenland in 2019 officieel schadebeperking als kernonderdeel van zijn tabaksbeleid heeft aangenomen, is het land erin geslaagd de voorheen groeiende trend van roken om te keren, waarmee het zich onderscheidt van de stagnatie die in veel andere EU-landen wordt waargenomen. Het voorgestelde verbod op smaakstoffen dreigt deze moeizaam behaalde resultaten echter teniet te doen.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers&#039; Alliance, benadrukt de mogelijke gevolgen van een dergelijk verbod: &quot;Een verbod op smaakstoffen zou een enorme stap terug zijn voor de volksgezondheid en de schadebeperking. Door een verbod op smaakstoffen te steunen, zouden beleidsmakers miljoenen volwassenen terugduwen naar roken of naar de zwarte markt, waardoor levens in gevaar komen en wetenschappelijk bewijs wordt genegeerd. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek toont consequent aan dat smaakstoffen een cruciale rol spelen bij het stoppen met roken. Het steunen van een verbod op smaakstoffen negeert deze bevindingen en de duidelijke wil van het volk. Dit zal meer kwaad dan goed doen.&quot;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Lees de volledige tekst <a href=\"https:\/\/ecigator.com\/news\/greece-vape-flavor-ban-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hier<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumer advocates and vaping organizations from Greece and across Europe are raising concerns over the Greek Ministry of Health\u2019s proposed ban on all vape flavors except tobacco and menthol.
