Open brief van WVA: 100.000 Europeanen verwerpen EU-aanval op vapen en e-sigarettenzakjes<\/strong><\/p>\n

BRUSSEL, 4 maart 2025 \u2013 De World Vapers' Alliance (WVA) heeft vandaag een Open brief<\/a> aan de Europese Commissie en de EU-lidstaten, die zich fel verzetten tegen recente voorstellen voor strengere regelgeving voor tabaksproducten ter vermindering van de schade. Deze voorstellen, aangevoerd door de Nederland<\/a>en gesteund door een minderheid van de lidstaten, dreigen de jarenlange vooruitgang in het helpen van rokers om te stoppen met behulp van veiligere alternatieven zoals vapen en nicotinezakjes te ondermijnen.<\/p>\n

De open brief, gesteund door meer dan 100.000 handtekeningen op de petitie<\/a> Een oproep van bezorgde burgers uit heel Europa aan beleidsmakers om wetenschappelijk bewijs en de publieke opinie te negeren ten gunste van misplaatste, prohibitionistische benaderingen.<\/p>\n

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

\u201c<\/em>Het is schandalig dat politici bereid zijn de gezondheid van miljoenen rokers op te offeren aan het altaar van de ideologie.<\/em><\/strong> Deze voorstellen druisen lijnrecht in tegen alle geloofwaardige bewijzen voor het verminderen van de schadelijke gevolgen van tabak. Verboden op smaakstoffen en hogere belastingen zullen het aantal rokers niet terugdringen \u2013 ze zullen mensen juist terugdrijven naar sigaretten of de zwarte markt. Het is een ramp voor de volksgezondheid die staat te gebeuren.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Landl voegde eraan toe:, \u201cHet feit dat meer dan 100.000 Europeanen onze petitie tegen deze maatregelen hebben ondertekend, zou een waarschuwing moeten zijn voor beleidsmakers. Burgers willen toegang tot veiligere en betere alternatieven, geen extra beperkingen. Het is tijd dat de EU naar haar burgers luistert en schadebeperking omarmt in plaats van ertegen te vechten. We zullen niet langer toekijken hoe bureaucraten en misleide politici de levens van miljoenen rokers en ex-rokers bedreigen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

De WVA pleit voor een evenwichtige aanpak die prioriteit geeft aan schadebeperking, consumenten en op bewijs gebaseerde beleidsvorming boven verbodsmaatregelen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
