Brussel, 12 september 2023 \u2014<\/strong> Voorafgaand aan de State of the Union-toespraak van dit jaar op woensdag in Straatsburg, dringt de World Vapers' Alliance er bij voorzitter Ursula von der Leyen sterk op aan de verwoestende gevolgen van roken-gerelateerde ziekten in de Europese Unie aan te pakken. De vereniging stelt voor dat de voorzitter van de Europese Commissie een samenhangende EU-brede strategie voor schadebeperking omarmt, die wetenschappelijk onderbouwde benaderingen voor vapen en nicotine pouches omvat, waarvan is aangetoond dat ze de schade aanzienlijk verminderen in vergelijking met roken.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers' Alliance, gaf de volgende reactie:<\/p>\n

\u201cWij doen een dringend beroep op Ursula von der Leyen om eindelijk de verstrekkende gevolgen van roken aan te pakken. Roken is een probleem voor de volksgezondheid dat onmiddellijke aandacht vereist en jaarlijks meer dan 700.000 doden in de EU veroorzaakt. Het bewijs toont duidelijk aan dat alternatieve nicotineproducten zoals e-sigaretten en nicotinezakjes een doorslaggevende rol kunnen spelen in de strijd tegen roken. Het is nu tijd voor daadkrachtig leiderschap.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Volgens de World Vapers' Alliance is Zweden een lichtend voorbeeld geworden van hoe een samenhangende strategie voor schadebeperking de sleutel is tot een succesvolle aanpak van aan roken gerelateerde ziekten. Zweden is niet alleen het eerste land ter wereld dat de doelstelling van een rookvrij land heeft bereikt (17 jaar eerder dan de EU-doelstellingen), maar het blijft ook vasthouden aan zijn inzet voor schadebeperking. Vorige week kondigde de Zweedse regering aan... zijn plan<\/a> om de belasting op snus, een rookloos tabaksproduct vergelijkbaar met moderne nicotinezakjes, met 20% te verlagen, terwijl de belasting op sigaretten en rooktabak met 9% wordt verhoogd.<\/p>\n

Vapen is nog steeds een aanbevolen<\/a> manieren voor rokers om te stoppen met roken in Frankrijk<\/a>, de Verenigd Koninkrijk<\/a>, Gezondheid Canada<\/a>, En Nieuw-Zeeland<\/a>. In april van dit jaar heeft de Britse regering lanceerde een "Swap-to-Stop"-programma.<\/a> Het doel was om rokers te stimuleren te stoppen door hun sigaretten in te ruilen voor gratis e-sigaretten. Na de recente stap van Zweden om het belastingtarief op snus te verlagen op basis van een risicogebaseerde regelgeving en de volledige goedkeuring van vapen als hulpmiddel bij het stoppen met roken door het Verenigd Koninkrijk, roept de WVA de Europese Unie op om hun voorbeeld te volgen en een samenhangende strategie voor schadebeperking te ontwikkelen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Zweden en het Verenigd Koninkrijk hebben we de ongelooflijke impact gezien die een aanpak gericht op schadebeperking kan hebben op het terugdringen van het aantal rokers en het verbeteren van de volksgezondheid. Deze landen geven het goede voorbeeld door een evenwichtige, op risico's gebaseerde strategie te hanteren, waarbij vapen en nicotinezakjes worden beschouwd als veiligere alternatieven voor roken. Het is tijd dat de Europese Unie hun voorbeeld volgt. President Von der Leyen heeft een unieke kans om in haar State of the Union-toespraak een nieuwe koers uit te zetten voor de EU \u2013 een koers die innovatieve, op bewijs gebaseerde oplossingen om de rookcrisis aan te pakken omarmt.<\/em>\u201c", voegde Landl eraan toe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
