Bryssel, 20.1.2026 \u2013 Kommission\u00e4r Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi har v\u00e4ckt skarp kritik efter en skriftligt svar<\/a> till parlamentsledamoten Kristoffer Storm ang\u00e5ende nikotinprodukter. N\u00e4r kommission\u00e4ren tillfr\u00e5gades om de relativa riskerna med r\u00f6kfria alternativ j\u00e4mf\u00f6rt med r\u00f6kning h\u00e4vdade han att: \u201cAtt anv\u00e4nda r\u00f6kfri tobak och nikotinprodukter, i motsats till r\u00f6kning med br\u00e4nnbara \u00e4mnen, minskar inte h\u00e4lsoriskerna.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, chef f\u00f6r World Vapers Alliance, sa:<\/p>\n

\u201cKommission\u00e4r V\u00e1rhelyi sprider farlig felinformation som kommer att f\u00e5 folk att forts\u00e4tta r\u00f6ka. Genom att p\u00e5st\u00e5 att det inte finns n\u00e5gon skillnad i risk mellan cigaretter och alternativa produkter agerar han som en vetenskapsf\u00f6rnekare. Det \u00e4r oansvarigt av en h\u00f6gt uppsatt tj\u00e4nsteman att ignorera bevisen och vilseleda allm\u00e4nheten. Europeiska kommissionen m\u00e5ste stoppa sitt ideologiska krig mot skademinskning och b\u00f6rja lyssna p\u00e5 forskarna.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oberoende vetenskapliga granskningar och statliga h\u00e4lsorapporter globalt bekr\u00e4fta<\/a> att r\u00f6kfria produkter \u00e4r mycket mindre skadliga \u00e4n r\u00f6kning. Forskning visar att dessa alternativ \u00e4r effektiva verktyg f\u00f6r att sluta r\u00f6ka och att r\u00f6kare som byter helt ser en betydande minskning av h\u00e4lsorisker. Genom att ignorera dessa fakta suddar kommission\u00e4ren ut viktiga bevis och lurar allm\u00e4nheten om de faktiska riskerna med olika nikotinprodukter.<\/p>\n

World Vapers Alliance uppmanar kommissionen att omedelbart ta tillbaka detta uttalande. Att sprida felaktig information om skademinskning undergr\u00e4ver folkh\u00e4lsoinsatser och hindrar r\u00f6kare fr\u00e5n att fatta v\u00e4lgrundade beslut. Politiken m\u00e5ste baseras p\u00e5 bevis snarare \u00e4n ideologiskt motst\u00e5nd mot mindre skadliga alternativ.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
