Brussel, 2 april 2026 \u2013 De evaluatie van de tabaksregels van de EU<\/a> Het is een feest dat de Tabaksproductenrichtlijn (TPD) erin slaagt het roken terug te dringen, ondanks het feit dat de EU haar doelstelling van een rookvrij land in 2040 met 70 jaar zal missen.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Het rapport opent ook de deur naar strengere regelgeving en regelrechte verboden op e-sigaretten, verhitte tabak en nicotinezakjes, inclusief smaakstoffen en wegwerpvarianten, ondanks de bewezen succes<\/a> Zweden, Tsjechi\u00eb en Griekenland hebben succes geboekt met het terugdringen van het aantal rokers door middel van deze toegankelijke alternatieven.<\/b><\/p>\n

Alberto G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez, beleidsmanager bij de World Vapers' Alliance, gaf de volgende reactie:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c"Het rapport viert een erbarmelijke daling van het roken, wat garandeert dat de doelstelling van rookvrij Zweden in 2040 met tientallen jaren zal worden gemist. Tegelijkertijd valt het juist de alternatieven aan die Zweden rookvrij hebben gemaakt, Tsjechi\u00eb de snelste daling binnen de EU en Griekenland een succesverhaal."\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Het rapport negeert gevestigde wetenschappelijke bewijzen voor het lagere risicoprofiel en de effectiviteit van alternatieve nicotineproducten bij het stoppen met roken. Het presenteert alternatieven bovendien als een opstapje naar roken voor jongeren, ondanks de erkenning dat roken onder jongeren sterk is afgenomen.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c"Dit rapport is overduidelijk bevooroordeeld en negeert wetenschappelijk bewijs over minder schadelijke alternatieven die w\u00e9l werken. Een update van de tabaksproductenrichtlijnen op basis van dit rapport zal miljoenen rokers ervan weerhouden over te stappen op minder schadelijke opties en de explosieve groei van de illegale zwarte markt aanwakkeren," aldus G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/b><\/p>\n

De World Vapers' Alliance roept de Europese Commissie op om zich opnieuw te richten op op bewijs gebaseerd beleid dat de keuzevrijheid van de consument beschermt en de daling van het roken versnelt. Beleidsmakers moeten leren van Zweden, Tsjechi\u00eb en Griekenland, waar toegankelijke alternatieven daadwerkelijke resultaten hebben opgeleverd.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
