Bruxelles, 12. juni 2025 \u2013 Europa-Kommissionens nyligt l\u00e6kket plan<\/a> At h\u00e6ve afgifterne p\u00e5 vapingprodukter, nikotinposer og opvarmet tobak handler ikke om at beskytte folkesundheden \u2013 det er et \u00e5benlyst pengebedrageri. Det l\u00e6kkede konsekvensanalyse<\/a>, nu udgivet af Clearing the Air, afsl\u00f8rer en ordning, der har til form\u00e5l at presse ekstra millioner ud af voksne vapers og brugere af sikrere nikotinalternativer, uden at tage hensyn til de virkelige konsekvenser.<\/p>\n

\u201c"Kommissionen behandler vapers som sparegriser, ikke mennesker. Liv er i fare, n\u00e5r sikrere alternativer er prissat uden for r\u00e6kkevidde, bare s\u00e5 Bruxelles kan fylde sine egne lommer."\u201d<\/em><\/strong> siger Michael Landl, direkt\u00f8r for World Vapers' Alliance.<\/p>\n

Under de foresl\u00e5ede regler kan prisen p\u00e5 en 10 ml flaske e-v\u00e6ske stige med mindst \u20ac3,60 over fire \u00e5r, mens nikotinposer og opvarmet tobak st\u00e5r over for minimumsafgifter over 50% af deres detailpris. Disse stigninger vil ramme h\u00e5rdest i lavindkomstlande og blandt de fattigste borgere, som har mindst r\u00e5d til h\u00f8jere priser og sandsynligvis vil blive tvunget tilbage til rygning eller det sorte marked.<\/p>\n

\u201c"Det handler ikke om sundhed, det handler om penge. Kommissionen ignorerer videnskab og sund fornuft og gambler med millioner af menneskers liv. N\u00e5r sikrere alternativer bliver uoverkommelige, holder folk ikke bare op \u2013 de vender sig mod det sorte marked eller tilbage til cigaretter. EU skal holde op med at behandle vapers som pengek\u00f8er,"\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Landl tilf\u00f8jer.<\/p>\n

I stedet for at hj\u00e6lpe rygere med at holde op, s\u00e6tter Bruxelles indt\u00e6gter over liv og risikerer en folkesundhedskatastrofe. WVA opfordrer EU og dets medlemsstater til at stoppe disse planer og opfordrer i stedet til risikobaseret beskatning.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
