De Europese Commissie verspreidt misinformatie over vapen tijdens COP11.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Gen\u00e8ve, 17 november 2025 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Bij de\u00a0Rondetafelgesprek met ministers<\/a>\u00a0Tijdens COP11 presenteerde het directoraat-generaal Gezondheid en Voedselveiligheid van de Europese Commissie beweringen over vapen en andere minder schadelijke nicotineproducten die in tegenspraak zijn met wetenschappelijk bewijs en effectieve tabaksbestrijding ondermijnen.<\/p>\n

Sandra Gallina, directeur-generaal, beweerde dat vapen en andere zogenaamd veiligere nicotineproducten risico's voor de volksgezondheid met zich meebrengen en trok de effectiviteit ervan bij het stoppen met roken in twijfel. Ze bagatelliseerde ook de rol van smaakstoffen voor volwassenen die overstappen van sigaretten en richtte zich op het beperken en verbieden van deze producten, zonder de bewijzen voor hun waarde bij het verminderen van de schadelijke gevolgen te erkennen.<\/p>\n

Deze beweringen negeren wetenschappelijke feiten.\u00a0bewijs<\/a>\u00a0en bewijs uit landen die zich richten op schadebeperking, wat dreigt het beleid te ondermijnen dat rokers helpt over te stappen op minder schadelijke alternatieven.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cDe Europese Commissie verspreidt al lange tijd desinformatie over vapen, en het is niet verwonderlijk dat ze een gewillig publiek vinden op de COP, waar kritisch debat wordt onderdrukt. Deze aanpak ondermijnt miljoenen rokers die op zoek zijn naar minder schadelijke alternatieven. Echt volksgezondheidsbeleid betekent dat we ons baseren op echte wetenschap, niet dat we afwijkende meningen de kop indrukken.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

De World Vapers' Alliance roept de Europese Commissie op deze misinformatie recht te zetten en beleid te voeren dat gebaseerd is op feiten en principes van schadebeperking.<\/p>\n
