UK applauded for increased efforts to back vaping by global vaping consumer …

Today UK Health Minister Neil O’Brian announced the United Kingdom will further double down on backing vaping as a smoking cessation tool by encouraging one million smokers to swap cigarettes with free vape starter kits, provide financial incentives to pregnant women to quit smoking, and introduce mandatory information sheet inserts into cigarettes packs.

The World Vapers’ Alliance, a global vaping consumer organisation, praises the UK government’s commitment. These measures will strengthen the UK’s position as one of the tobacco harm reduction champions worldwide, says Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers’ Alliance:

“The UK is a smoking-cessation champion and harm reduction leader worldwide. Smoking rates have fallen by more than 29% in the last decade since vaping became widely popular, and the government must double down on embracing vaping. The broad adoption of vaping due to strong political backing and sound medical evidence is why smoking rates decrease faster than in other countries. Further helping smokers to switch will accelerate the UK’s success story.”

Politico recently reported that some ministers were considering imposing higher taxes on vaping products, and enforcing new regulations on packaging and flavours in response to the Khan Review published last year. This would endanger the progress achieved by fully embracing vaping for smokers.

Höyrystäminen voi pelastaa 200 miljoonaa henkeä, ja makuilla on keskeinen rooli tupakoinnin lopettamisessa. Päättäjät haluavat kuitenkin rajoittaa tai kieltää makuja, mikä vaarantaa pyrkimyksemme lopettaa tupakointiin liittyvät kuolemat.
