Bryssel, 13 april 2026 \u2014 Sju konsumentorganisationer fr\u00e5n hela Europa har undertecknat ett \u00f6ppet brev<\/a> till Europeiska kommissionens ordf\u00f6rande Ursula von der Leyen och h\u00e4lsokommission\u00e4r Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi och uppmanade dem att ompr\u00f6va inriktningen f\u00f6r den kommande revideringen av tobaksproduktdirektivet.<\/p>\n

Brevet ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4tter direkt kommissionens utv\u00e4rderingsrapport om Tobaksproduktivitet (TOPD) som publicerades tidigare denna m\u00e5nad. Det uppmanar kommissionen att till\u00e4mpa ett riskproportionerligt ramverk, skydda vuxnas tillg\u00e5ng till mindre skadliga alternativ och l\u00e4ra av l\u00e4nder som Sverige, Tjeckien och Grekland<\/a>, som uppn\u00e5dde n\u00e5gra av de snabbaste minskningarna av r\u00f6kning i Europa genom att anamma skademinskning snarare \u00e4n att begr\u00e4nsa den.<\/p>\n

Undertecknarna representerar vejpare, anv\u00e4ndare av nikotinp\u00e5sar och f\u00f6respr\u00e5kare f\u00f6r skademinskning fr\u00e5n Kroatien, Slovenien, Tjeckien, Grekland och andra l\u00e4nder.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, chef f\u00f6r World Vapers' Alliance, sa: \u2019Kommissionens utv\u00e4rdering pekade i helt fel riktning. Den l\u00e4gger grunden f\u00f6r fler restriktioner, fler f\u00f6rbud och f\u00e4rre valm\u00f6jligheter f\u00f6r r\u00f6kare som vill sluta. Konsumenter \u00f6ver hela Europa f\u00f6ljer noga denna process och kommer inte att acceptera en revidering av Tobaksdirektivet som g\u00f6r det sv\u00e5rare att f\u00e5 tillg\u00e5ng till mindre skadliga alternativ till cigaretter. Denna rapport \u00e4r en f\u00f6rol\u00e4mpning mot vetenskapen och ett svek mot de miljontals (f\u00f6re detta) r\u00f6kare i hela Europa.\u201c<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
