Bruxelas, 20.1.2026 \u2013 O Comiss\u00e1rio Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi gerou fortes cr\u00edticas ap\u00f3s uma resposta escrita<\/a> Em uma entrevista com o eurodeputado Kristoffer Storm sobre produtos de nicotina, o Comiss\u00e1rio, ao ser questionado sobre os riscos relativos das alternativas sem fuma\u00e7a em compara\u00e7\u00e3o ao tabagismo, afirmou: \u201cUsar tabaco e produtos de nicotina sem fuma\u00e7a, em oposi\u00e7\u00e3o ao tabagismo convencional, n\u00e3o reduz o risco \u00e0 sa\u00fade\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, diretor da World Vapers Alliance, disse:<\/p>\n

\u201cO Comiss\u00e1rio V\u00e1rhelyi est\u00e1 a disseminar informa\u00e7\u00f5es perigosas e erradas que ir\u00e3o manter as pessoas a fumar. Ao afirmar que n\u00e3o existe diferen\u00e7a de risco entre cigarros e produtos alternativos, est\u00e1 a agir como um negacionista da ci\u00eancia. \u00c9 irrespons\u00e1vel que um funcion\u00e1rio de alto n\u00edvel ignore as evid\u00eancias e engane o p\u00fablico. A Comiss\u00e3o Europeia deve p\u00f4r fim \u00e0 sua guerra ideol\u00f3gica contra a redu\u00e7\u00e3o de danos e come\u00e7ar a ouvir os cientistas.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Revis\u00f5es cient\u00edficas independentes e relat\u00f3rios governamentais de sa\u00fade em todo o mundo. confirmar<\/a> que os produtos sem fuma\u00e7a s\u00e3o muito menos prejudiciais do que fumar. Pesquisas comprovam que essas alternativas s\u00e3o ferramentas eficazes para parar de fumar e que os fumantes que trocam completamente os produtos por esses produtos observam uma redu\u00e7\u00e3o significativa nos riscos \u00e0 sa\u00fade. Ao ignorar esses fatos, o Comiss\u00e1rio est\u00e1 apagando evid\u00eancias vitais e enganando o p\u00fablico sobre os riscos reais dos diferentes produtos de nicotina.<\/p>\n

A Alian\u00e7a Mundial dos Cigarros Eletr\u00f4nicos exige que a Comiss\u00e3o retire imediatamente esta declara\u00e7\u00e3o. Promover desinforma\u00e7\u00e3o sobre a redu\u00e7\u00e3o de danos prejudica os esfor\u00e7os de sa\u00fade p\u00fablica e impede que os fumantes fa\u00e7am escolhas informadas. As pol\u00edticas devem ser baseadas em evid\u00eancias, e n\u00e3o em oposi\u00e7\u00e3o ideol\u00f3gica a alternativas menos nocivas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
