Consumentenbelangenorganisaties waarschuwen: verbod op smaakstoffen bedreigt vooruitgang op het gebied van de volksgezondheid
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Athene, 16-4-2025. Consumentenorganisaties en voorstanders van e-sigaretten uit Griekenland en heel Europa, waaronder de Griekse Vapers' Alliance en de World Vapers' Alliance (WVA), luiden de alarmklok over het beleid van het Ministerie van Volksgezondheid.\u00a0voorgesteld verbod<\/a> Dit geldt voor alle smaken e-sigaretten, behalve tabak en menthol. Ze waarschuwen dat deze maatregel het moeizaam behaalde succes van Griekenland bij het terugdringen van het aantal rokers teniet kan doen.<\/p>\n

Sinds 2019, toen Griekenland schadebeperking officieel als een kernpijler van zijn tabaksbeleid aannam, heeft het land de voorheen groeiende trend van roken omgekeerd \u2013 een schril contrast met de stagnatie die in een groot deel van de EU te zien is.<\/p>\n

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

\u201c"Een verbod op smaakstoffen zou een enorme stap terug zijn voor de volksgezondheid en het beperken van de schade.". <\/em>Door een verbod op smaakstoffen te steunen, zouden beleidsmakers miljoenen volwassenen terugdrijven naar roken of naar de zwarte markt, waardoor levens in gevaar komen en wetenschappelijk bewijs wordt genegeerd.<\/em><\/strong> Wetenschappelijk onderzoek toont consequent aan dat smaken een cruciale rol spelen bij het stoppen met roken. Het steunen van een verbod op smaakstoffen negeert deze bevindingen en de duidelijke wil van het volk. <\/em>Dit zal meer kwaad dan goed doen.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Nikolas Christofidis, woordvoerder van de Griekse Alliantie van Vapers, voegde hieraan toe:<\/p>\n

\u201cHet verbieden van smaakstoffen in e-sigaretten is een oppervlakkige en gevaarlijke beslissing. <\/em>Het pakt niet de werkelijke oorzaak van het gebruik door minderjarigen aan, maar het bestraft wel honderdduizenden volwassen ex-rokers die dankzij smaakstoffen zijn gestopt met roken.<\/em><\/strong> In plaats van de schadebeperking te bevorderen, drijven ze mensen terug naar sigaretten of de illegale markt. We roepen het Ministerie van Volksgezondheid op om deze aanpak onmiddellijk te heroverwegen en naar de stem van de consument te luisteren.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Voorstanders dringen er bij het ministerie op aan om in gesprek te gaan met consumenten, deskundigen en de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap om regelgeving te ontwikkelen die jongeren beschermt zonder de gezondheid en vrijheid van volwassen ex-rokers in gevaar te brengen. Op bewijs gebaseerd beleid, en niet een verbod, is de weg vooruit voor de volksgezondheid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
