Brussel, 23 januari 2026 \u2013 Het Europees Parlement ontwerpadvies<\/a> Het vandaag gepubliceerde EU-plan voor cardiovasculaire gezondheid bevat verregaande verbodsmaatregelen die tot protesten van consumenten hebben geleid. Onder leiding van de socialistische rapporteur Romana Jerkovi\u0107 eist het plan feitelijke verboden op e-sigaretten, nicotinezakjes en heat-not-burn-producten, hulpmiddelen voor schadebeperking die miljoenen mensen dagelijks gebruiken om te stoppen met roken.<\/p>\n

Het wetsvoorstel beoogt alle nicotineproducten onder dezelfde strenge regelgeving te plaatsen als sigaretten, waardoor cruciale verschillen tussen veel minder schadelijke alternatieven en brandbare producten vervagen. Ondanks bewijs dat productkeuze en smaken volwassen rokers helpen om succesvol over te stappen, pleit het wetsvoorstel voor hoge belastingen, verboden op smaken en marketing, en strenge nicotinebeperkingen.<\/p>\n

\u201cDit roekeloze ontwerp is een schandalige aanval op de gezondheid en vrijheid van de consument. WVA verwerpt deze antiwetenschappelijke kruistocht die het bewezen succes van schadebeperking negeert ten stelligste.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> aldus Alberto G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez, beleidsmanager bij World Vapers Alliance.<\/p>\n

Hoge belastingen en verboden op smaakstoffen zouden consumenten onvermijdelijk terugdrijven naar dodelijke sigaretten, gevaarlijke zwarte markten aanwakkeren, de vooruitgang op het gebied van de volksgezondheid die is geboekt met veiligere nicotineproducten tenietdoen en degenen die zijn gestopt met roken in de steek laten.<\/p>\n

\u201c"Extreme belastingheffing en smaakverboden hebben overal waar ze zijn ingevoerd, rampzalige gevolgen gehad.". <\/em>Jerkovi\u0107 en haar socialistische collega's moeten wakker worden: dergelijke maatregelen zullen de vooruitgang de nek omdraaien en miljoenen mensen terug naar het roken veroordelen.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> voegde G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez eraan toe.<\/p>\n

Consumenten roepen Romana Jerkovi\u0107 en de Sociaaldemocraten op om dit standpunt te herzien en dringen er bij alle Europarlementari\u00ebrs op aan om deze maatregelen tegen schadebeperking af te wijzen en tegelijkertijd de toegang tot levensreddende alternatieven te beschermen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
