Netherlands Ready To Get ‘Tough’ On Vaping
Now it’s the Netherlands vapers under threat as a ‘junior’ politician considers tough new legislation, which as you’ll see is based on a myth and total bollocks.
Hot on the heels of Denmark pushing for a flavour ban, vapers in Holland look set for a fight on their hands.
Junior health minister Paul Blokhuis has vaping in his sights and says research he’s read suggests e-cigarettes are a ‘gateway‘ to youngsters becoming smokers…
Yes really…
*bangs head on desk once again*
To say this old argument is outdated and goes against the facts is an understatement – read just one of my articles debunking this BS: Studies Show Vaping Does Not Lead to Kids Smoking
But it seems politicians looking for media soundbites and their 15 minutes of fame don’t really care for the facts – as we’ve repeatedly witnessed.
Blokhuis says much of his concerns comes from a ‘fact sheet‘ produced by the Trimbos addiction clinic, which was commissioned by the government.
I’ve tried to find this so called ‘fact sheet’ but I can’t – so I can only speculate that like many others it’s full of unsubstantiated scaremongering and fake facts…
If any of you have any links to it, I’d be glad to take a look
