Nergens is dit duidelijker dan op het gebied van volksgezondheid en schadebeperking. Terwijl de Europese Unie worstelt met haar standpunt over strategie\u00ebn voor schadebeperking bij rokers, reiken de gevolgen van haar beslissingen veel verder dan de EU-grenzen en hebben ze invloed op de wereldwijde gezondheid en de strijd tegen de schade die roken met zich meebrengt.<\/p>\n<p>Panama zal gastheer zijn van de <a href=\"https:\/\/fctc.who.int\/who-fctc\/governance\/conference-of-the-parties\/tenth-session-of-the-conference-of-the-parties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tiende sessie van de Conferentie van de Partijen (COP10)<\/a> De conferentie van COP10 vindt dit jaar in november plaats en zal van groot belang zijn voor de toekomst van de volksgezondheid. De resultaten zullen wereldwijd van invloed zijn op het beleid rondom schadebeperking en vapen. De kans dat COP10 een positieve houding zal aannemen ten opzichte van schadebeperking en vapen is echter zeer twijfelachtig, gezien de strikte houding die de WHO in voorgaande jaren ten aanzien van vapen heeft aangenomen.<\/p>\n<p>Onlangs is er nog een grote <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2023-08-largest-e-cigarettes-cessation-aid.html\">Verenigde Staten<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2023-08-largest-e-cigarettes-cessation-aid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> studie<\/a> benadrukte de effectiviteit en de waarde van vapen als hulpmiddel bij het stoppen met roken.

Natuurlijk houdt de lijst met positieve resultaten daar niet op. De enige reden waarom de WHO dit bewijs heeft genegeerd, is omdat ze al partij heeft gekozen in het debat over vapen.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Het verbod is volledig mislukt.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Er zijn voorbeelden van meerdere landen waar het verbod op vapen al negatieve gevolgen heeft gehad of in de toekomst zal hebben.<\/p>\n<p>India, dat in 2003 het WHO-verdrag inzake bestrijding van tabaksgebruik ondertekende, verbood bijvoorbeeld vapen in 2019.
