Belgi\u00eb kampt met een hoog rookpercentage; 241.400 mensen roken momenteel. Dit leidt jaarlijks tot ongeveer 14.000 sterfgevallen als gevolg van roken.<\/p>\n<p>De Belgische regering streeft ernaar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapingpost.com\/2023\/05\/26\/science-keeps-revealing-the-infectivity-of-vape-taxes\/\">verhoog de tabaksbelasting<\/a>, Met een prijsverhoging van \u20ac1 voor een pakje van 20 sigaretten, wat naar verwachting \u20ac50 miljoen extra aan jaarlijkse belastinginkomsten zal opleveren. Door deze nieuwe regelgeving wil de overheid een &quot;rookvrije generatie&quot; cre\u00ebren. De regelgeving treedt naar verwachting in werking op 1 januari 2025 en omvat aanzienlijke sancties bij niet-naleving.<\/p>\n<p>Echter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciensano.be\/en\">Sciensano-onderzoek<\/a> Dit suggereert dat Belgi\u00eb zijn doelstellingen voor de vermindering van het roken waarschijnlijk niet zal halen. Bovendien bestaat er grote bezorgdheid dat prijsverhogingen Franse rokers niet zullen afschrikken. Ondanks deze deskundige meningen is Belgi\u00eb vastbesloten om de veranderingen door te voeren.<\/p>\n<p>Lees de volledige tekst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapingpost.com\/2023\/11\/30\/will-belgiums-smoking-cessation-strategy-be-effective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hier<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While amendments to Belgium&#8217;s current tobacco laws aim to reduce smoking rates, experts highlight that these are missing a crucial element.
