A global alliance of vapers gathered in Brussels to issue a call on European policymakers to stand against possible bans on vape flavours. The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) displayed an art installation in front of the European Parliament with a simple message “Flavours help smokers quit”.

Svjetski savez vapera kaže da ’amplifies the voice of vapers around the world and empowers them to make a difference for their communities. Our members are vapers associations as well as individual vapers from all over the world”".

This marks the third event of WVA’s Europe-wide campaign #FlavoursMatter. The campaign was launched with one aim: to show policymakers in Europe and across the world that vape flavours are instrumental for smoking cessation. The group hosted demonstrations in Stockholm, Sweden and the Hague, Netherlands in March 2022.

Shortly after the demonstration, a postponement of the Dutch vape flavour ban by six months was announced in the Netherlands.

“Okusi igraju ključnu ulogu u pomaganju potrošačima da prestanu pušiti – milijuni Europljana već su prestali prelaskom na vaping. Raznolikost okusa jedan je od najvažnijih razloga zašto mnogi ljudi prelaze na e-cigarete i nikada se ne vrate pušenju. Već smo vidjeli da vaping djeluje! Pomogao je milijunima ljudi da promijene svoje živote, a sada su nam potrebne politike koje će to nadoknaditi. Stoga smo oduševljeni što su neki zastupnici u Europskom parlamentu s nama i pomažu u obrani okusa vapinga.” kaže Michael Landl, direktor Svjetskog saveza vapera.
