Brussel, 12 juni 2025 \u2013 De nieuwe resolutie van de Europese Commissie gelekt plan<\/a> Het verhogen van de belasting op vape-producten, nicotinezakjes en verwarmde tabak gaat niet om het beschermen van de volksgezondheid, maar om een regelrechte geldklopperij. De gelekte effectbeoordeling<\/a>, nu gepubliceerd door Clearing the Air, onthult een plan om miljoenen extra te verdienen aan volwassen vapers en gebruikers van veiligere nicotine-alternatieven, waarbij weinig rekening wordt gehouden met de gevolgen in de echte wereld.<\/p>\n

\u201c"De Commissie behandelt vapers als spaarvarkens, niet als mensen. Levens lopen gevaar wanneer veiligere alternatieven onbetaalbaar worden, alleen maar zodat Brussel zijn eigen zakken kan vullen."\u201d<\/em><\/strong> zegt Michael Landl, directeur van de World Vapers' Alliance.<\/p>\n

Volgens de voorgestelde regels zou de prijs van een flesje e-liquid van 10 ml de komende vier jaar met minstens \u20ac 3,60 kunnen stijgen, terwijl nicotinezakjes en verwarmde tabak een minimumbelasting van meer dan 50% van hun verkoopprijs krijgen. Deze prijsstijgingen zullen het hardst toeslaan in landen met een laag inkomen en onder de armste burgers, die zich hogere prijzen het minst kunnen veroorloven en waarschijnlijk teruggedrongen zullen worden tot roken of de zwarte markt.<\/p>\n

\u201c"Dit gaat niet om gezondheid, maar om geld. De Commissie negeert wetenschap en gezond verstand en gokt met de levens van miljoenen. Wanneer veiligere alternatieven onbetaalbaar worden, stoppen mensen niet zomaar \u2013 ze wenden zich tot de zwarte markt of keren terug naar sigaretten. De EU moet stoppen met het behandelen van vapers als melkkoeien."\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Landl voegt toe.<\/p>\n

In plaats van rokers te helpen stoppen, stelt Brussel inkomsten boven levens, en riskeert daarmee een ramp voor de volksgezondheid. De WVA roept de EU en haar lidstaten op om die plannen te stoppen en pleit in plaats daarvan voor risicogebaseerde belastingheffing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
