Commissaris Varhelyi bevestigde dit in een schriftelijke verklaring. antwoord<\/a> In antwoord op een vraag van parlementsleden. Door ideologie te verkiezen boven wetenschappelijk bewijs, misleidt de commissie miljoenen rokers en ex-rokers.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers' Alliance, zei:<\/p>\n

\u201c"Brussel maakt van desinformatie nu officieel beleid. Door vapen en andere alternatieven als even gevaarlijk te beschouwen als roken, blijven mensen alleen maar roken. De Commissie laat rokers in de steek door voor krantenkoppen en ideologie te kiezen in plaats van feiten."\u201d

Daarom roept de World Vapers' Alliance de Commissie op om te stoppen met het behandelen van schadebeperking als een bedreiging en zich te richten op echte oplossingen die levens redden. Europa verdient beleid dat gebaseerd is op feiten, niet op angst.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
