Dublin, 23 juni 2025<\/strong> \u2013 Als de Wereldconferentie over tabaksbestrijding<\/a> (WCTC) opende vanavond zijn deuren in Dublin. Een lichtshow verlichtte het conferentiecentrum en visualiseerde de stemmen van miljoenen consumenten die ongehoord en ondervertegenwoordigd blijven in de wereldwijde discussies over tabaksbestrijding. De campagne, "Stemmen Ongehoord \u2013 Consumenten Doen Ertoe!", is gelanceerd door de World Vapers' Alliance om de voortdurende uitsluiting van consumentenperspectieven uit het debat over tabaksbestrijding aan te vechten.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

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

\u201cTerwijl beleidsmakers achter gesloten deuren debatteren, tasten miljoenen consumenten in het duister. Onze stem telt en mag niet genegeerd worden. <\/em>Machtige belangengroepen, zoals die van Michael Bloomberg, blijven aandringen op verboden die veiligere alternatieven van de markt verwijderen.<\/em><\/strong> Deze benadering negeert wetenschappelijk bewijs en de praktijkervaringen van miljoenen volwassenen die met behulp van risicoverminderende producten succesvol zijn gestopt met roken. <\/em>Beleidsmakers moeten naar de consument luisteren en hun beslissingen baseren op feiten, niet op ideologie of de invloed van rijke donateurs.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Met de aanstaande COP11 in Gen\u00e8ve later dit jaar is het belangrijker dan ooit dat de stemmen van degenen die het meest worden getroffen door het tabaks- en nicotinebeleid, worden meegenomen in het besluitvormingsproces. Terwijl honderden beleidsmakers bijeenkomen om tabaksbestrijding te bespreken, worden consumenten \u2013 degenen die het meest door het beleid worden geraakt \u2013 buitenspel gezet. De lichtshow symboliseert hun monddoodmaking en draagt een krachtige boodschap uit: "Wij zijn hier, maar jullie luisteren niet." De campagne pleit voor echte inclusie en een plek aan tafel voor degenen die dagelijks de gevolgen van beleidsbeslissingen ondervinden.<\/p>\n

De lancering van de campagne vindt plaats te midden van hernieuwde aanvallen van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO) op schadebeperking, met een recent voorbeeld. Oproep tot een verbod op alle gearomatiseerde nicotineproducten.<\/a>, waaronder e-sigaretten en nicotinezakjes.<\/p>\n

Alberto G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez, beleids- en belangenbehartigingsmanager voor de WVA, zegt:<\/p>\n

\u201cHet verbieden van smaakstoffen gaat niet over bescherming, maar over het ontnemen van de middelen die volwassenen nodig hebben om te stoppen met roken. <\/em>De aanpak van de WHO is wereldvreemd en brengt levens in gevaar. Wetenschap en consumenten moeten hun stem laten horen.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

De campagne zal het hele jaar doorgaan en pleiten voor op bewijs gebaseerd beleid ter vermindering van schade, en de status quo aanvechten die consumenten geen stem laat hebben, terwijl de wereld zich voorbereidt op COP11 in Gen\u00e8ve.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
