A global advocacy group for vapers’ rights, World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA), presented a Plean 7 gcéim for the Portuguese government to fight tobacco consumption.

As the forthcoming update of the EU Tobacco Products Directive and the implementation of the Portuguese Plan to reduce cancer (ENLCC) are set to determine the strategy to combat tobacco consumption in Portugal, WVA, together with their Portuguese partners Associação Portuguesa de Vaporizadores (APORVAP) and Ohms do Vapor presented a set of recommendations to political decision-makers on advancing harm reduction as a part of Portugal’s strategy to reduce cancer.

1. Portugal’s clear commitment to the concept of tobacco harm reduction.
2. Galú a chur chun cinn mar uirlis chun scor de chaitheamh tobac.
3. Eisiaigh galú ó shrianta limistéir saor ó thobac.
4. Staon ó chánacha níos airde a ghearradh ar tháirgí galúcháin agus laghdaigh an cánacha iomarcacha ar r-leachtanna a luaithe is féidir.
5. Diúltaigh do thoirmisc blasanna agus gan srian a chur ar rogha i leibhéil nicitín le haghaidh leachtanna galúcháin.
6. Coinnigh galú ar fáil do dhaoine fásta agus srianta aoise á gcur i bhfeidhm agat chun úsáid déagóirí a chosc.
7. Laghdú ar dhochar tobac a chur chun cinn in institiúidí agus i reachtaíocht an AE.
