SMOKE FREE SWEDEN: DANSKE RESTRIKTIONER PÅ NIKOTINPOSER VIL FÅ 150.000 TIL AT VENDE TILBAGE TIL RYGNING

Et foreslået forbud mod ni ud af ti nikotinposer i Danmark vil være et massivt tilbageskridt i kampen mod tobak og vil tvinge titusindvis af tidligere rygere tilbage til dødelige cigaretter, advarer førende internationale eksperter i dag.

Reguleringer på sundhedsområdet, som vil blive fremlagt for Folketinget fredag den 11. oktober, vil begrænse nikotinniveauet i en nikotinpose til 9 mg – langt under internationale standarder og kun en brøkdel af nikotinniveauet i cigaretter.

Dr. Delon Human, en global ekspert i skadereduktion og leder af ”Smoke Free Sweden”, siger: "Nikotinposer er bevist at være et langt sikrere alternativ til cigaretter og hjælper millioner af rygere med at stoppe over hele verden.”

"Forslaget, som Folketinget skal behandle, vil forbyde 90 % af de poser, der aktuelt bruges i Danmark, hvilket efterlader rygerne med valget mellem de få tilbageværende poser eller cigaretter, der indeholder 85 % mere nikotin.

"Det er ikke svært at forudsige, hvilket valg de vil ende med at træffe. Rygere, der overvejer at stoppe, vil blive nægtet et levedygtigt og sikrere alternativ, mens størstedelen af de 153.000 nuværende brugere af nikotinposer vil blive presset tilbage til cigaretter.

"At gøre den farligste måde at indtage nikotin på til den mest attraktive er simpelthen ulogisk og et massivt tilbageskridt i den fortsatte kamp mod tobakkens dødelige konsekvenser."
Danmarks naboland Sverige har vist, at en progressiv tilgang til skadesreducerende røgfrie nikotinprodukter er den bedste vej til at udrydde rygning og de sundhedskonsekvenser, som følger med.

Sverige har oplevet et ekstraordinært fald i antallet af rygere på 55 % over det seneste årti og er på nippet til officielt at blive erklæret røgfrit efter WHO’s målsætning. Sammenlignet med resten af EU har Sverige nu 44 % færre tobaksrelaterede dødsfald og en 41 % lavere kræftrate.
Sveriges succes tilskrives den udbredte brug af orale nikotinprodukter med forskellige nikotinstyrker og smagsvarianter samt regeringens politik med at lægge højere afgifter på cigaretter end på røgfrie nikotinprodukter.

Det danske forslag har til hensigt at forbyde de lange cigaretter, som i øjeblikket bruges af en tredjedel af rygerne, samtidig med at nikotinindholdet i poser begrænses.
"Forbuddet mod 30 % af cigaretterne på markedet burde være en stor mulighed for at opmuntre rygere til at skifte til sikrere alternativer som nikotinposer," siger Dr. Human. "I stedet forsøger forslagene at gøre poser ineffektive og mindre tiltalende end cigaretter.

"Som i Sverige bør den danske regering anerkende den vigtige rolle, disse skadesreducerede nikotinprodukter spiller i at hjælpe rygere med at overgå fra røgtobak og gøre sikrere alternativer tilgængelige, acceptable og til at betale."
