Ma Belgium, ke ʻimi nei ke aupuni federal, i ke kaʻina hana o ka waihona kālā 2023, i ka loaʻa kālā a hiki ke huli koke i ka vaping e hoʻopiha i kāna waihona. ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā e noho maikaʻi ka paka no nā kālā o ka mokuʻāina, ʻo ka ʻauhau ma nā huahana vaping mai 2024 hiki ke ʻae i ke aupuni e hōʻiliʻili ma mua o 200 miliona euros.
HE AUHAU MA KA VAPE? KE KUMU KONO!
Ua hoʻomaopopo ke aupuni pekelala i kēia, ʻo ka vape i kēia lā e hōʻike nei i kahi vein maoli e hoʻopiha ai i ka pahu me nā ʻauhau. Wahi a nā hoʻolālā aupuni, e hoʻokau ʻia nā dute excise ma nā huahana vape i 2024. ʻO kēia ka mea e lawe ai i ka loaʻa kālā excise i 200 miliona. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe kikoʻī e pili ana i ke ʻano o nā huahana paka ʻē aʻe e ʻimi ʻia.
ʻO nā cigarettes, cigars a me nā huahana paka i hana ʻia i ka ʻauhau koi ʻia ma ka pae ʻEulopa. ʻO ke kuhikuhi hope loa e hoʻokele nei i kēia mau huahana a kau i ka liʻiliʻi o nā dute excise mai 2011 (Directive 2011/64/EU). ʻO nā paka uila, nā huahana vape a me nā huahana paka wela i komo i ka mākeke ma hope o kēia lā a ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kahi kulekele excise ʻEulopa. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻohe mea e pale aku i ka ʻauhau ʻauhau iā lākou ma ko lākou ʻaoʻao, kahi e hana ai ʻo Belgium.

No kāna ʻāpana, ʻo ka Huina maʻi maʻi Belgian manaʻo ia he mea maikaʻi, akā lawe mai i nā nuances. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia iā ia iho « ʻae loa i ka manaʻo o ka Superior Health Council e ʻōlelo nei e loaʻa nā ʻauhau ma nā paka uila« . Akā, wahi a ka Belgian Cancer Foundation, « ʻAʻole mākou paipai i ka ʻauhau e like me ke kiʻekiʻe o nā paka maʻamau. ʻOiaʻiʻo, pono ke kūʻai ʻia nā paka uila no ka mea makemake lākou i ke ʻano o ka pau ʻana o ka puhi. A he mea nui nō hoʻi e noho maʻalahi lākou no ka poʻe puhi paka mai nā papa socio-economic hemahema kahi i nui ai ka poʻe puhi paka.« .
