The ministers are set to discuss the European Commission\u2019s Beating Cancer Plan prior to meeting with the Commission. The Plan signals a dangerous path towards a much harsher legislative environment based on fallacies and ignorance. The Commission is the EU&#8217;s unelected executive arm, responsible for drawing up proposals for legislation and implementing decisions made by the Parliament and Council. The WVA tells the Ministers of Heath: \u201cWe believe that this plan does not adequately consider tobacco and smoking-related cancers. The plan shuts the door for smokers trying to quit using novel tobacco products, specifically vaping by picking abstentionism over harm reduction.\u201d It describes the plans to tax vaping like tobacco, to ban vaping in public areas, and to treat vape like a tobacco product as misguided and dangerous.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetofthevapes.co.uk\/news\/vaping-news\/2021-03-16_wva-writes-to-eu-ministers-of-heath.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WVA Writes To EU Ministers of Heath<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20WVA%20%5BEU%20Ministers%20Of%20Health%20Misguided%20Anti-Vaping%20Policies%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The World Vapers\u2019 Alliance (WVA) has written to the European Union\u2019s Ministers of Heath about their \u201cmisguided and dangerous policy\u201d.
