Don’t Let History Repeat: Greece Warned Against Flavour Ban Mistake
Consumer groups and vaping advocates in Europe oppose Greece's plan to ban flavoured e-cigarettes, fearing it will harm harm reduction efforts. They argue that flavours help smokers switch to safer options and caution against unintended consequences seen in Denmark. The ban risks driving former smokers back to cigarettes and the black market. Data shows adult vapers prefer flavoured products. Experts recommend science-based regulations that protect public health while supporting harm reduction. In Denmark, a ban on vape flavours unintentionally increased youth use and spurred illegal sales. Critics warn against over-regulation and point to Sweden's harm reduction success. Research confirms flavoured vapes aid smoking cessation. Advocates call for evidence-based policies to safeguard gains in public health.
