Deze stemmen, en hun persoonlijke verhalen over hoe vapen hen hielp te stoppen met roken en hun leven ten goede veranderde, werden via het centrale punt van de Europese Unie verspreid om Europese politici aan te moedigen een beleid te steunen dat vapen bevordert.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>De World Vapers&#039; Alliance (WVA) rijdt in de iconische, elektrisch roze Vape Bus door Brussel en zegt daarmee vapers wereldwijd te vertegenwoordigen.\u2019<em>met een indrukwekkende selectie van verhalen over stoppen met werken uit heel Europa.\u201d<\/em>. De verzameling verhalen van individuele ex-rokers werd samengesteld als onderdeel van het project.\u00a0<em>Terug naar vapen. Versla roken.<\/em>\u00a0campagne, die in 2021 door heel Europa reisde.<\/p>\n<p>De demonstratie bracht deze boodschappen uit heel Europa rechtstreeks over aan leden van het Europees Parlement (EP-leden), die debatteerden over het &#039;Plan ter bestrijding van kanker&#039;, dat mogelijk de richting zal bepalen voor het antirookbeleid in heel Europa.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers&#039; Alliance, zei: \u2019<em>De komende weken zijn cruciaal voor rokers, vapers en de volksgezondheid in het algemeen, nu het Europese plan ter bestrijding van kanker wordt afgerond. We zijn hier vandaag om ervoor te zorgen dat de stem van vapers wordt gehoord en dat de Europarlementari\u00ebrs de waargebeurde verhalen begrijpen van mensen die dankzij vapen hebben kunnen stoppen met roken.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Europese beleidsmakers hebben de kans om geschiedenis te schrijven en levens te redden als ze vapen steunen als middel om roken te bestrijden. Onze boodschap aan hen is duidelijk: kies voor wetenschap en red levens.<\/em>,\u201d voegde hij eraan toe.<\/p>\n<p>In Europa zouden 19 miljoen rokers kunnen overstappen op vapen, een alternatief dat 95% minder schadelijk is, als het Europees Parlement instrumenten voor schadebeperking, zoals vapen, zou opnemen in al hun toekomstige wetgeving, waaronder het Europese plan ter bestrijding van kanker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Er bestaat een risico dat Europese wetgevers \u2013 onder druk van anti-vapingactivisten \u2013 wetten zullen invoeren die vapen exact hetzelfde behandelen als roken. Dit zou een ramp betekenen voor vapers, rokers en de wereldwijde volksgezondheid. De beste manier om roken te bestrijden is door vapen te promoten als onderdeel van het volksgezondheidsbeleid.<\/em>,\u201d concludeerde Michael Landl.<\/p>\n<p>De WVA zegt dat ze de stem van vapers wereldwijd versterkt en hen in staat stelt een verschil te maken voor hun gemeenschappen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Onze leden bestaan uit 26 vapersverenigingen en meer dan 15.000 individuele vapers van over de hele wereld.<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Een voorbeeld van de verhalen die gedeeld worden, komt van Juan uit Barcelona, die zei: &quot;\u201c<em>Vier jaar geleden ben ik gestopt met roken dankzij vapen. Mijn levenskwaliteit is verbeterd, ik ben niet meer moe, mijn neus loopt &#039;s ochtends niet meer en eten smaakt heerlijk.<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas uit Parijs zei: \u201c<em>Ik ben overgestapt op vapen met als specifiek doel te stoppen met roken. Ik heb de nicotineconcentratie geleidelijk verlaagd en sta nu op het punt om helemaal te stoppen. Vapen is een zeer goede methode om te stoppen met roken.<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetofthevapes.co.uk\/news\/vaping-news\/2021-12-02_vapers-voices-heard-in-brussels.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Oorspronkelijk hier gepubliceerd<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Vapers\u2019 Alliance says the \u201cvoices of vapers\u201d arrived at MEPs\u2019 front door in Brussels.
