Jarenlang lag de focus op verboden en beperkingen, maar nu vindt er een echte verschuiving plaats. Het ministerie van Volksgezondheid heeft bevestigd dat het gegevens verzamelt om de basis te leggen voor de regulering van producten met een verminderd risico, zoals vapen, nicotinezakjes en apparaten die niet verbranden. Dit is een teken dat het land de noodzaak van iets nieuws erkent.<\/p>\n<p>Wat wel duidelijk is, is dat de oude methoden geen resultaat hebben opgeleverd. Roken blijft hardnekkig hoog, met bijna \u00e9\u00e9n op de vijf volwassenen die nog steeds rookt en bijna 900 sterfgevallen per jaar als gevolg van tabak. Er is ook geen wetgeving die specifiek betrekking heeft op vapen, waardoor producten in een grijze zone blijven hangen. Hierdoor is er voor zowel rokers als mensen die willen overstappen geen duidelijkheid of richting. Dat moet veranderen.<\/p>\n<p>De Tabakscontrole-eenheid, die onder het ministerie van Volksgezondheid valt, beschrijft de missie duidelijk op haar website: &quot;Wij spannen ons in om tabaksgerelateerde schade te verminderen, een gezondere omgeving te bevorderen en het publiek te beschermen tegen de gevaren van tabaksgebruik.&quot; Die missie moet de leidraad vormen voor het volgende hoofdstuk van het beleid.<\/p>\n<p>Lees de volledige tekst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guardian.co.tt\/opinion\/harm-reduction-the-next-step-for-trinidad-and-tobagos-tobacco-fight-6.2.2412610.7e25f0ce2c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hier<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trinidad and Tobago is moving ahead with an approach to tobacco policy that can finally make a difference.
