👉 'This large pragmatic randomised controlled trial adds further evidence that e-cigarettes can be an effective tool for smoking cessation, extending findings to delivery in emergency rooms.'

It is important to always evaluate the analysis of vapour from e-cigarettes in relation to smoking. Then it quickly becomes clear that vaping means harm reduction. This is the major advantage for smokers who switch to e-cigarettes.

Pressemeldung des BfTG zum Thema Aromen

👉 'Verbote von E-Zigarettenaromen hätten sehr negative Konsequenzen für die Gesundheitspolitik. Eine größere Gruppe der auf E-Zigaretten umgestiegenen Raucher würden wieder zur Tabakzigarette zurückkehren.'

IEVA Chairman Dustin Dahlmann and Vice Chairman Umberto Roccatti had successful meetings in Brussels with the tax attachés of France, Cyprus and Hungary to discuss the taxation of vaping products and advocate for keeping vaping affordable for smokers who want to quit.

Many studies show that vaping is far less harmful than smoking. This is because e-cigarettes don’t contain cancer-causing tobacco, and most of the toxic chemicals found in cigarettes are not in e-cigarettes.

IEVA contributed to Slovenia’s TRIS notification.

📷 '... the proposed flavour ban is not proportionate to the objective pursued.'

Prof Hajek:

👉'There is no evidence that #vaping is a gateway into smoking, but some evidence that it is a gateway out of smoking.'

👉 'A suggested ban on vape flavours, ..., would be against the interests of public health.

IEVA supports the aim of restricting vaping among young people while continuing to encourage adult smokers to switch to a much safer alternative. But this cannot be achieved through bans.

Banning e-cigarettes is completely the wrong approach. Many examples show that only the illegal trade benefits from this.

E-Zigaretten könnten eine Alternative sein, da die Anwendung einfacher ist und den Nutzern die Möglichkeit gibt, die Dosis auf die Bedürfnisse abzustimmen und Geschmacksrichtungen auszuwählen, die ihnen gefallen.
