Ministério da Saúde da Eslovénia proposto to introduce a ban on all vaping flavourings except tobacco “to prevent and reduce the use of electronic cigarettes among young people”. According to the Slovenian authorities “more and more research also shows that, among adolescents who otherwise do not smoke, the use of an electronic cigarette significantly increases the likelihood that they will also start smoking regular cigarettes”.

But that is not true! Flavours are Comumente usado entre vapers regulares de todas as faixas etárias. and they are not a product to adolescents started in vaping. Around two thirds of adult vapers use flavours e são essenciais para fumantes adultos que tentam parar de fumar, pois podem aumentar as chances de desistir em 230%. Além disso, não há evidências que apontem que os sabores dos cigarros eletrônicos incentivem o uso de cigarros eletrônicos ou o tabagismo entre os jovens. 

A proibição de sabores é uma catástrofe iminente para a saúde pública. Pesquisar suggests that almost half of vapers would turn to the black market or back to cigarettes. A flavour ban in Slovenia will leave consumers with a selection of just three equally dreadful options: returning to smoking, the black market or buying their flavours abroad. 

For too long, lawmakers have ignored vapers’ opinions, meaning the most important voices – those of the consumer – and their lived experiences are missing and misunderstood.
