Ondanks het overvloedige bewijs dat het negeren van een schadebeperkende aanpak en het verbodsbeleid niet werkt, worden de lessen nooit geleerd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoewel de verkoop, import en distributie van e-sigaretten in Turkije al verboden is en er een bloeiende zwarte markt bestaat, is het land nu van plan om nog strengere verboden op tabaksproducten in te voeren, waaronder ook e-sigaretten. Turkije kampt met een relatief hoog rookpercentage., <\/span>ongeveer 22%<\/span><\/a>; De manier waarop de overheid van plan is de rookproblematiek aan te pakken, geeft echter weinig reden tot optimisme voor degenen die begrijpen hoe belangrijk schadebeperking is op weg naar een rookvrije samenleving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Het lijkt een recent besluit te zijn: de Turkse overheid bereidt nog strengere regels voor in de strijd tegen tabak.<\/span> Merkur<\/span><\/a>, De Turkse overheid is van plan alle contante betalingen voor tabaksproducten te verbieden en alleen elektronische betalingen toe te staan voor controledoeleinden. Er zijn ook plannen voor een breder rookverbod in gebedshuizen, onderwijsinstellingen, ziekenhuizen en openbare ruimtes zoals speeltuinen en stranden. Roken zal ook worden beperkt in gebieden die niet openbaar toegankelijk zijn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wat nog gekker lijkt, is dat Turkije tegen 2040 een strikt verbod op alle producten wil invoeren, met de bewering dat dit zal leiden tot stoppen met roken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoewel het op papier eenvoudig lijkt om alle nicotinehoudende producten te elimineren, hoe werkt dat in de praktijk? Het beste voorbeeld hiervan is waarschijnlijk... <\/span>mislukt beleid<\/span><\/a> Een recent voorbeeld uit de geschiedenis is Australi\u00eb, dat strenge beperkingen op e-sigaretten hanteert. Dit heeft geleid tot een bloeiende illegale handel en, erger nog, maffiaoorlogen om nicotine. Helaas lijken overheden wereldwijd deze realiteit te negeren, ondanks het feit dat empirisch is bewezen dat dit soort beleid niet bijdraagt aan een rookvrije samenleving, maar nicotineproducten juist in handen van criminelen plaatst \u2013 en daarmee consumenten in gevaar brengt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Het bestrijden van tabaksgebruik is een nobel doel, maar dit moet worden nagestreefd met beleid dat consumenten daadwerkelijk ten goede komt en hen niet criminaliseert. In plaats van het potentieel van e-sigaretten voor schadebeperking te erkennen, is Turkije van plan de definitie van 'tabaksproduct' aan te passen en, naast sigaretten, e-sigaretten te verbieden, waardoor consumenten de mogelijkheid wordt ontnomen om de risico's van roken te verminderen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Er is nog tijd tot 2040, maar met de huidige aanpak lijkt het er niet op dat de situatie zal verbeteren. Terwijl landen als Nieuw-Zeeland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zweden zich inzetten voor consumentgerichte beleidsmaatregelen en daadwerkelijke vooruitgang boeken in het stoppen met roken, lijkt de rest van de wereld de opdracht maar moeilijk te begrijpen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turkije heeft in elk geval nog een kans om deze koers te heroverwegen voordat dezelfde fouten elders worden gemaakt. Het negeren van schadebeperking zal nicotine niet doen verdwijnen \u2013 het zal het alleen maar ondergronds drijven, waar consumenten minder keuzes hebben en grotere risico's lopen. De vraag is niet of mensen nicotine zullen gebruiken, maar of ze minder schadelijke alternatieven krijgen aangeboden.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
