Zoals Politico meldt, verklaarde hij tijdens een persconferentie dat het &quot;niet waar&quot; is dat vapen kan worden gebruikt als een maatregel ter vermindering van de schade voor de volksgezondheid en dat het positioneren van e-sigaretten als schadebeperking &quot;een valstrik&quot; is.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers&#039; Alliance, gaf de volgende reactie:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHet is schokkend dat de WHO nog steeds strijdt tegen het verminderen van de schadelijke gevolgen van tabak. Om de doelstelling van 51 rookvrije landen (5%) te bereiken, hebben we zoveel mogelijk opties nodig om rokers te helpen stoppen. Vapen, nicotine pouches en soortgelijke producten helpen mensen te stoppen met roken en zijn minder schadelijk. De WHO negeert stelselmatig de overvloed aan wetenschappelijk bewijs dat wijst op de voordelen, om nog maar te zwijgen van de ervaringen van miljoenen vapers. De negatieve houding van de WHO ten opzichte van schadebeperking zal niets anders teweegbrengen dan de mislukte methoden uit het verleden voortzetten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hoewel volgens de WHO jaarlijks acht miljoen mensen sterven aan ziekten die verband houden met roken, lijkt de WHO zich meer te richten op nicotinegebruik in het algemeen dan op de daadwerkelijke schade.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIn plaats van rokers aan te moedigen over te stappen op minder schadelijke alternatieven, weigert dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus te luisteren naar de wetenschap, experts en consumenten. Deze uitspraak laat zien dat de WHO van plan is de schadebeperking verder aan banden te leggen, terwijl ze alle negatieve gevolgen accepteert. Integendeel, schadebeperking moet een sleutelrol spelen in toekomstig antirookbeleid. Landen zoals het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zweden, die dit jaar rookvrij worden, tonen aan dat schadebeperking werkt en levens redt\u201d, voegde Landl eraan toe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meer informatie over de mogelijkheden van schadebeperking is te vinden op [link]. <a href=\"https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/nl_be\/harm-reduction-vaping-fact-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/worldvapersalliance.com\/harm-reduction-vaping-fact-sheet\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1685895540032000&amp;usg=AOvVaw03OrQioeY7-P-oGdJHvlHS\">hier<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2.6.2023.
