GlobalVapeNews.com blijft continu kijken naar wat er in Nederland gebeurt op damp gebied. We constateren dat onder Staatssecretaris Paul Blokhuis (VWS) het dampen onder invloed van zeer hardnekkige desinformatie door overheid adviserende instanties onredelijk hard wordt aangepakt.

Tevens maken we ons zorgen over de paternalistische weg die de Nederlandse overheid momenteel is ingeslagen op het gebied van de persoonlijke levenssfeer.

We bieden op onze website dampnieuws aan in het Nederlands. Hiervoor is een aparte sectie aangemaakt in de NewsRoom.

Voor overige nieuwtjes en weetjes over dampen voor consumenten verwijzen we u graag door naar de website van Acvoda (actief voor dampen)

Deliberate misinformation on vaping is the main reason why vaping has to suffer exaggerated regulations worldwide. The numbers don’t lie, vaping reduces significant the amount of smokers. This this can be demonstrated statistically, when looking at countries in Scandinavia, Iceland and the United Kingdom.

Most misinformation is produced in the USA which is roaming around the world. It’s quite odd that EU governments are more eager to look at US policies regarding to vaping than to the succesful policies on tobacco harm reduction, by – for example – the Brittish, icelandic and scandinavian governments.

It’s a priority to fight junk science on vaping and to give politicians the factual information without deliberated bias, so they can make policies which actually will benefit public health.

The video from The Economist shows that most people don’t know the facts about e-cigarettes. It also shows that most people are influenced by misinformation brought to them by mainstream media.

In this video, Natasha Loder (HealthPolicy editor, Economist) and Robert West (Professor of Health Psychology, University College London)  debunk the most known erroneous “facts” about vaping and nicotine.
