The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) has expressed its significant concern over calls by the British Medical Association (BMA), the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME) and the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) to ban disposables and non-tobacco flavours. These measures, the WVA says, are aimed at curbing vaping among youth but ignore the experience of tens of thousands of Europeans and risk compromising the broader public health achievements made possible by the use of vaping as a harm reduction tool.
Alberto Gómez Hernández, Policy Manager der World Vapers' Alliance, erklärte: “The EU’s approach to smoking is failing, and further restrictions on safer alternatives will only delay the achievement of smoke-free targets. 80,000 Europeans have already signed the ‘Jedes Leben zählt’ petition to protect safer nicotine products, and European politicians must take them into consideration when legislating.”
Die Absicht, junge Menschen vor Nikotinsucht zu schützen, ist zwar lobenswert, die WVA ist jedoch der Ansicht, dass solch strenge Maßnahmen unbeabsichtigt dazu führen könnten, dass erwachsene Dampfer wieder zu schädlicheren herkömmlichen Zigaretten greifen und erwachsene Raucher vom Aufhören abhalten.
