Bryssel, 20.1.2026 \u2013 Komissaari Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi on her\u00e4tt\u00e4nyt ankaraa kritiikki\u00e4 sen j\u00e4lkeen, kun kirjallinen vastaus<\/a> Euroopan parlamentin j\u00e4senelle Kristoffer Stormille nikotiinituotteista.

\u201cKomissaari V\u00e1rhelyi levitt\u00e4\u00e4 vaarallista v\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4 tietoa, joka saa ihmiset jatkamaan tupakointia.

Riippumattomat tieteelliset arvioinnit ja hallituksen terveysraportit maailmanlaajuisesti vahvistaa<\/a> ett\u00e4 savuttomat tuotteet ovat paljon v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n haitallisia kuin tupakointi. Tutkimukset osoittavat, ett\u00e4 n\u00e4m\u00e4 vaihtoehdot ovat tehokkaita v\u00e4lineit\u00e4 tupakoinnin lopettamiseen ja ett\u00e4 tupakoitsijat, jotka vaihtavat kokonaan tupakoinnin, huomaavat terveysriskien merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4n v\u00e4henemisen.

World Vapers Alliance kehottaa komissiota perumaan t\u00e4m\u00e4n lausunnon v\u00e4litt\u00f6m\u00e4sti.
