欧洲电子烟烟民抗议把电子烟归为药品的计划

  烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译  电子烟的使用者们计划在布鲁塞尔街头进行抗议活动,反对政府的电子烟计划,该计划将使电子卷烟在欧洲的烟草产品市场消失。

  许多烟草使用者相信,电子卷烟对吸烟者的危害很小。

  他们认为,传统的烟草产品使用者需要戒烟时,电子烟是最好的替代产品。

  但去年年底,欧盟委员会提出修改《烟草产品指令》的建议,计划中提到,尼古丁含量超过一定临界值的电子卷烟,应该归类为医药产品。

  欧洲的电子烟烟民计划于7月10日在布鲁塞尔集合,和平抗议将电子烟归类为药品的政府计划。

  “他们将在当地时间12:30在卢森堡广场(经过申请,已经获得相应许可)集合,集体宣告一个将令人惊讶并记忆深刻的事实:若将电子烟归类为药品,就意味着今后的每一天,吸烟者的死亡人数将高达2000人,”Vapourtrails网站发布的一则公告表示。

  公告提到,下午1:00,每位电子烟民将爆破一个或多个黑色气球,每个气球象征着一位烟民的生命,爆破气球的行为意在表达这样的情况:传统烟草产品使用者在自愿的情况下被允许转吸电子烟,从而延长自己的生命,但因为政府将电子烟归类到药品范畴,吸烟者将提早结束生命。

  组织者希望欧盟议会成员也能参加到这一活动中。

Pro-electronic Cigarette Demonstration Scheduled for Brussels on July 10

  Vapers are due to take to the streets of Brussels to protest proposals that could emasculate electronic cigarettes sold within the EU.

  Many people from across the tobacco divide believe that electronic cigarettes pose little risk to the users of these products.

  And they believe that electronic cigarettes comprise one of the most potent products when it comes to weaning smokers from traditional tobacco products.

  Toward the end of last year, the European Commission put forward its proposals for revising the Tobacco Products Directive, and as part of those proposals it suggested that electronic cigarettes exceeding a certain threshold of nicotine should come under medicinal products legislation.

  Vapers from across Europe are due to meet in Brussels on July 10 to protest peacefully against the proposal to categorize electronic cigarettes as medicines.

  "They will meet up in Place Luxembourg (subject to the appropriate permissions, which have been applied for) at 12:30 local time to prepare for a startling and memorable demonstration of what classifying e-cigs as medicines will actually mean—the continued early deaths of up to 2,000 smokers every day of every year," said a note posted at Vapourtrails.

  At 13:00, the note said, each vaper will burst one or more black balloons, each one signifying the life of a smoker who, had she been allowed to switch to electronic cigarettes by choice and desire, would have reached her full life span, but, because of the classification of electronic cigarettes as medicines, died early, as a smoker.

  The organizers are hoping to be joined by some members of the European Parliament. Enditem
