This marks the second event of the WVA\u2019s Flavours Matter campaign, as a growing number of countries attempt to prohibit one of the most powerful tools in the fight against smoking: vaping flavours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the occasion, WVA\u2019s Director, Michael Landl said:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cLast year, citizens in the Netherlands overwhelmingly rejected a vaping flavours ban in a public consultation. Politicians have chosen to ignore their voices and now they\u2019re at it again, risking the lives of up to 260.000 Dutch people, who might go back to smoking in the absence of flavours.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WVA brought an art installation containing a puzzle with a word missing from the sentence:\u00a0<strong>\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0help smokers quit! The missing word was symbolically added:\u00a0<em>flavours\u00a0<\/em>in the form of a puzzle piece in front of the Dutch Parliament, where MPs have been discussing the issue throughout the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16886\" src=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PR-NL-FINAL-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16887\" src=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PR-NL-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen so much progress over the last decade, in terms of lower and lower smoking rates in the Netherlands. The more tools smokers have to help them quit, the better. Vaping flavours have been one of the most effective methods, with studies citing that those who vape flavoured e-cigarettes are 230% more likely to quit than those who don\u2019t. But that route to smoking cessation may soon be banned if people do not speak up against this public health disaster in the making,&#8221; Landl added.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dutch consumers can contact their political representatives via the WVA action centres to share their vaping success stories and convince them to stop the ban:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/eu\/mp-nl\/\">https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/mp-nl\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event is the second in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/eu\/flavours-matter\/\">campaign<\/a>\u00a0launched two days ago in <a href=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/eu\/flavours-matter-150-000-swedish-lives-at-stake-if-vaping-flavours-banned\/\">Stockholm<\/a> by the WVA, called \u2018Flavours Matter\u2019. The WVA will be travelling to countries around the world where flavours are at risk, to showcase the benefits of vaping flavours and ensure that they remain a key component of quitting smoking.
