Als minister van Volksgezondheid en fervent pleitbezorger voor gezondheidsbeleid draagt u een enorme verantwoordelijkheid ten opzichte van kankerpati\u00ebnten en Europese burgers in de hele Unie. Daarom nemen we v\u00f3\u00f3r de aanstaande bijeenkomst met de Europese Commissie contact met u op.<\/p>\n<p>Wij zijn van mening dat dit plan onvoldoende rekening houdt met tabak en aan roken gerelateerde kankers. Het plan sluit de deur voor rokers die proberen te stoppen met het gebruik van nieuwe tabaksproducten, met name vapen, door abstentionisme te verkiezen boven schadebeperking.<\/p>\n<p>Het kankerplan van de Commissie stelt voor om vapen op dezelfde manier te belasten als tabak, vapen in openbare ruimtes te verbieden en vape-producten en -smaken gelijk te stellen aan tabak. Dit is een misplaatst en gevaarlijk beleid.<\/p>\n<p>Studies tonen aan dat vapers twee keer zoveel kans hebben om permanent te stoppen met roken dan degenen die nicotinepleisters of -kauwgom gebruiken, en er is wetenschappelijk bewijs dat vapers worden blootgesteld aan 0,4% van het levenslange kankerrisico van rokers. Door deze apparaten te verbieden, negeert het kankerplan van de Commissie honderdduizenden vapers in heel Europa.<\/p>\n<p>Bij de World Vapers&#039; Alliance weten we dat onze 13.000 vapers en 23 partnerorganisaties zich grote zorgen maken over de ontwikkeling van wetgeving op het gebied van vapen op Europees niveau. Als de huidige koers van de Commissie inzake vapingproducten wordt aangehouden, zal dit leiden tot een toename van het aantal rokers en de vooruitgang op weg naar een kankervrije samenleving afremmen. Dit plan zou ook wereldwijd gevolgen hebben voor de regelgeving. Daarom dringen we er bij u op aan om de huidige versie van het plan van de Europese Commissie te herzien, omdat het catastrofale gevolgen zou hebben voor de volksgezondheid, zoals u kunt zien in het onderstaande document.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wvaold.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Recommendations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wvaold.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Copy-of-consultrespond-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"77\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Ministers of Health, On 16 March, you will hold an exchange of views on Europe&#8217;s Beating Cancer Plan put forward by the Commission.
