Bruxelles, le 20 janvier 2026 \u2013 Le commissaire Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi a suscit\u00e9 de vives critiques \u00e0 la suite d'une r\u00e9ponse \u00e9crite<\/a> Interrog\u00e9 par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 europ\u00e9en Kristoffer Storm au sujet des produits nicotin\u00e9s, le commissaire a d\u00e9clar\u00e9, en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 une question sur les risques relatifs des alternatives sans fum\u00e9e par rapport au tabagisme\u00a0: \u201c\u00a0L\u2019utilisation de produits du tabac et de la nicotine sans fum\u00e9e, par opposition au tabagisme combustible, ne r\u00e9duit pas les risques pour la sant\u00e9.\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, directeur de la World Vapers Alliance, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 :<\/p>\n

\u201c Le commissaire V\u00e1rhelyi propage de dangereuses informations erron\u00e9es qui encourageront les fumeurs \u00e0 continuer. En affirmant qu'il n'y a aucune diff\u00e9rence de risque entre les cigarettes et les produits alternatifs, il se comporte comme un n\u00e9gationniste scientifique. Il est irresponsable pour un haut responsable d'ignorer les preuves et d'induire le public en erreur. La Commission europ\u00e9enne doit mettre fin \u00e0 sa guerre id\u00e9ologique contre la r\u00e9duction des risques et commencer \u00e0 \u00e9couter les scientifiques. \u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Des revues scientifiques ind\u00e9pendantes et des rapports de sant\u00e9 gouvernementaux \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale confirmer<\/a> Les produits sans fum\u00e9e sont bien moins nocifs que le tabac. Des \u00e9tudes prouvent que ces alternatives sont des outils efficaces pour arr\u00eater de fumer et que les fumeurs qui passent compl\u00e8tement \u00e0 ces produits constatent une r\u00e9duction importante des risques pour leur sant\u00e9. En ignorant ces faits, le commissaire occulte des preuves essentielles et trompe le public sur les risques r\u00e9els des diff\u00e9rents produits contenant de la nicotine.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Alliance mondiale des vapoteurs demande \u00e0 la Commission de retirer imm\u00e9diatement cette d\u00e9claration. Diffuser de fausses informations sur la r\u00e9duction des risques nuit aux efforts de sant\u00e9 publique et emp\u00eache les fumeurs de faire des choix \u00e9clair\u00e9s. Les politiques doivent se fonder sur des donn\u00e9es probantes et non sur une opposition id\u00e9ologique \u00e0 des alternatives moins nocives.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
