The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) has expressed its significant concern over calls by the British Medical Association (BMA), the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME) and the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) to ban disposables and non-tobacco flavours. These measures, the WVA says, are aimed at curbing vaping among youth but ignore the experience of tens of thousands of Europeans and risk compromising the broader public health achievements made possible by the use of vaping as a harm reduction tool.
Alberto Gómez Hernández, Policy Manager della World Vapers' Alliance, ha affermato: “The EU’s approach to smoking is failing, and further restrictions on safer alternatives will only delay the achievement of smoke-free targets. 80,000 Europeans have already signed the ‘Ogni vita conta’ petition to protect safer nicotine products, and European politicians must take them into consideration when legislating.”
Sebbene l'intenzione di proteggere i giovani dalla dipendenza dalla nicotina sia lodevole, la WVA ritiene che misure così severe potrebbero inavvertitamente spingere gli svapatori adulti a tornare alle sigarette tradizionali più dannose e impedire ai fumatori adulti di smettere.
