Londen, 27-02-2024 \u2013<\/strong> In een recente, controversi\u00eble stap zou de Britse regering onder leiding van premier Rishi Sunak van plan zijn om, net als bij traditionele sigaretten, hogere belastingen te heffen op e-sigaretten. gelekt<\/a>Het plan heeft grote bezorgdheid gewekt onder Britse consumenten, omdat het de vooruitgang die het land heeft geboekt op het gebied van schadebeperking en stoppen met roken dreigt te ondermijnen.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers' Alliance, uitte zijn ernstige zorgen over de koers van de overheid:<\/p>\n

\u201cHet lijkt erop dat de Britse regering, in een poging om extra belastinginkomsten te genereren, bereid is de gezondheid van duizenden rokers in gevaar te brengen. Dit is wederom een stap in de verkeerde richting. Door minder schadelijke alternatieven voor roken duurder te maken, ontmoedigt de regering rokers effectief om over te stappen. Deze maatregel zal onevenredig grote gevolgen hebben voor de minder welgestelden en de gezondheidsongelijkheid verergeren, vooral in een tijd van stijgende kosten van levensonderhoud.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Statistisch bewijs ondersteunt de onevenredige impact van roken op lagere sociaaleconomische groepen. In 2021 benadrukte het Office for National Statistics een schrijnende ongelijkheid in de prevalentie van roken in relatie tot de economische status in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Werklozen rapporteerden een significant hoger rookpercentage. hoger rookpercentage<\/a> (25,7%) vergeleken met degenen met betaald werk (13,3%). Bovendien werd in Engeland een uitgesproken hoge prevalentie van roken waargenomen in de meest achtergestelde buurten<\/a> (23,8%) in tegenstelling tot de minst achtergestelde groep (6,8%).<\/p>\n

Landl bekritiseerde verder de door de overheid voorgestelde verboden op wegwerp-vapes en de generatiebeperkingen voor Heat-Not-Burn-producten, en verklaarde:,<\/p>\n

\u201c"Samen met de voorgestelde belastingverhogingen zullen deze verboden er alleen maar toe leiden dat het Verenigd Koninkrijk, dat voorheen een koploper was op het gebied van tabaksgerelateerde schadebeperking, een toevluchtsoord voor illegale activiteiten wordt."\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

De World Vapers' Alliance dringt er bij de Britse regering op aan deze maatregelen te heroverwegen en pleit voor een evenwichtige aanpak die de volksgezondheid vooropstelt en rokers ondersteunt bij de overstap naar minder schadelijke alternatieven.<\/p>\n
