Br\u00fcssel, 16. Januar 2026 \u2013 Ein durchgesickerter Entwurf der aktualisierten Tabaksteuerrichtlinie (TED) des Europ\u00e4ischen Rates wurde von \u2026 berichtet. F\u00fcr Klarheit sorgen<\/a>, Die Zahlen zeigen, dass die Steuers\u00e4tze f\u00fcr E-Zigaretten, Nikotinbeutel und Tabakerhitzer etwas niedriger sind als im Plan der Europ\u00e4ischen Kommission vom letzten Sommer, die Grundaussage aber unver\u00e4ndert bleibt. Die EU will weniger sch\u00e4dliche Alternativen weiterhin fast wie Zigaretten behandeln und stellt die Einnahmen \u00fcber die \u00f6ffentliche Gesundheit.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, Direktor der World Vapers' Alliance, sagte:<\/p>\n

\u201cSie haben bei den Zahlen einen kleinen Schritt nach vorne gemacht, aber die Richtung ist nach wie vor v\u00f6llig falsch. Nikotinkonsumenten werden wie Geldautomaten behandelt. Etwas niedrigere Preise \u00e4ndern nichts daran, dass dieser Plan die Menschen zum Rauchen animiert und diejenigen bestraft, die versuchen, mit weniger sch\u00e4dlichen Alternativen aufzuh\u00f6ren.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Am schockierendsten ist jedoch das eigene Eingest\u00e4ndnis des Rates im Entwurf: \u201cDieser Ansatz zielt auch darauf ab, steuerlich bedingte Produktsubstitutionen zu verhindern.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDas bedeutet, Br\u00fcssel will Raucher ausdr\u00fccklich daran hindern, auf E-Zigaretten, Pouches oder Tabakerhitzer umzusteigen. Der Entwurf des Rates sieht vor, dass Raucher weiterhin Zigaretten rauchen sollen, selbst wenn sie nicht aufh\u00f6ren k\u00f6nnen. Das ist das Gegenteil von Schadensminimierung. Ziel der Besteuerung muss es sein, Menschen zu weniger sch\u00e4dlichen Alternativen zu bewegen, nicht sie ihnen zu verwehren.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Landl f\u00fcgte hinzu.<\/em><\/p>\n

Der \u00fcberarbeitete Entwurf sieht Steuern auf E-Liquids, Nikotinbeutel und Tabakerhitzer vor, die den Preisunterschied zu herk\u00f6mmlichen Zigaretten weiterhin deutlich verringern, auch wenn einige Betr\u00e4ge niedriger ausfallen als in fr\u00fcheren Versionen. Dadurch wird der Umstieg weniger attraktiv, insbesondere f\u00fcr Menschen mit geringem Einkommen, die am st\u00e4rksten vom Rauchen betroffen sind und dringend auf erschwingliche Alternativen angewiesen sind.<\/p>\n

Die Weltallianz der Dampfer fordert die EU-Mitgliedstaaten auf, den aktuellen Entwurf abzulehnen und eine wirksame Strategie zur Schadensminderung im Steuerbereich zu fordern. Das bedeutet deutlich niedrigere oder gar keine Verbrauchssteuern auf E-Zigaretten, Nikotinbeutel und Tabakerhitzer im Vergleich zu Zigaretten, damit Raucher einen starken finanziellen Anreiz zum Umstieg haben.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
