A global alliance of vapers gathered in Brussels today to call on European policymakers to stand against possible bans on vape flavours. The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) displayed an art installation in front of the European Parliament with a simple message “"Zaporeek erretzaileei erretzeari uzten laguntzen diete".

This marks the third event of WVA’s Europe-wide campaign #FlavoursMatter. The campaign was launched with one aim: to show policymakers in Europe and across the world that vape flavours are instrumental for smoking cessation. The group hosted demonstrations in Stockholm, Sweden and the Hague, the Netherlands in March 2022. Shortly after the demonstration, a postponement of the dutch vape flavour ban by six months was announced in the Netherlands.

“Zaporeek funtsezko zeregina dute kontsumitzaileei erretzeari uzten laguntzeko: milioika europar dagoeneko utzi diote erretzeari bapeatzera aldatuz. Zaporeen aniztasuna da jende askok zigarro elektronikoetara aldatu eta inoiz ez erretzera itzultzeko arrazoi garrantzitsuenetako bat. Ikusi dugu dagoeneko bapeatzeak funtzionatzen duela! Milioi bat pertsonari bizitza aldatzen lagundu zien eta orain, politikak behar ditugu harrapatzeko. Horregatik, oso pozik gaude eurodiputatu batzuk gurekin egoteaz eta bapeatzearen zaporeak defendatzen laguntzeaz”.” dio Michael Landlek, World Vapers' Alliance-ko zuzendariak.

The installation was attended by a Member of the European Parliament Pietro Fiocchi.
