Bruxelles, 4.6.2026 \u2014 Sverige har protesteret imod EU's plan om at h\u00e6ve afgifterne p\u00e5 nikotinposer forud for denne uges fornyede forhandlinger om tobaksbeskatningsdirektivet. Forslaget vil indf\u00f8re h\u00f8jere minimumsafgifter p\u00e5 cigaretter og for f\u00f8rste gang minimumsafgifter p\u00e5 vaping, nikotinposer og andre mindre skadelige produkter. Sveriges finansminister<\/strong><\/a> har offentligt lovet at forhindre Bruxelles i at h\u00e6ve afgifterne p\u00e5 nikotinposer og erkl\u00e6ret, at andre lande ikke f\u00e5r lov til at bestemme Sveriges nikotinpolitik.<\/strong> og at regeringen ikke vil tillade EU at \u201cchokh\u00e6ve\u201d afgifterne p\u00e5 produkter, der gjorde Sverige r\u00f8gfrit.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, direkt\u00f8r for World Vapers' Alliance, sagde:<\/p>\n

\u201c"Sverige g\u00f8r, hvad resten af Europa burde g\u00f8re: forsvarer de produkter, der rent faktisk fik rygere til at holde op med at ryge cigaretter.". <\/em><\/strong>Dens finansminister forsvarer forbrugerne, mens Bruxelles forbereder sig p\u00e5 at beskatte netop de alternativer, der reducerer Sveriges rygerate til den laveste i EU. Beskat et mindre skadeligt produkt som en cigaret, og du fjerner grunden til at skifte.<\/em> Hvis man beskatter nikotinprodukter h\u00f8jt nok, overlader man blot markedet til kriminelle. Det er en gave til organiseret kriminalitet, betalt af rygere, der ville holde op.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sveriges modstand kommer p\u00e5 et tidspunkt, hvor forhandlingerne allerede er i problemer. Det cypriotiske formandskab indr\u00f8mmede nederlag i denne uge og indr\u00f8mmede, at medlemslandene efter m\u00e5neders indsats ikke kunne n\u00e5 til enighed om sagen under dets formandskab.<\/p>\n

Internationale beviser st\u00f8tter Sveriges holdning. I Australien viser officielle statistikker nu, efter mere end et \u00e5rti med skattestigninger p\u00e5 over 200 %, ca. <\/strong>80 % <\/strong><\/a>af tobaks- og nikotinprodukter, der forbruges i landet, er ulovlige, og nikotinforbruget er steget med n\u00e6sten 40 % siden 2017.<\/strong>. Strafbeskatning afsluttede ikke rygning. Den overdrog markedet til kriminelle. T\u00e6ttere p\u00e5 hjemmet, en KPMG-rapport<\/a> (bestilt af Philip Morris International) viste, at det ulovlige forbrug af cigaretter p\u00e5 tv\u00e6rs af 38 europ\u00e6iske markeder voksede med 5,9 % i 2025, selvom det lovlige forbrug faldt med 4,1 % i 2025.<\/p>\n

World Vapers' Alliance opfordrer medlemslandene til at f\u00f8lge Sveriges eksempel, afvise enhver skattestruktur, der behandler mindre skadelige produkter som cigaretter, anvende beskatning i forhold til risikoen og holde den lav nok til at give rygere incitamenter til at skifte til mindre skadelige alternativer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
