Parliament voted against the government's ban on flavored e-cigarettes. The debate heated up when Yasmine Bladelius (S&D) claimed that the emails and letters received from users were not sent by real people.
A majority of parliamentary parties do not want to ban flavorings in e-cigarettes. However, the Social Affairs Committee wants to make it a criminal offense for private individuals to sell nicotine products to minors.
The center-right opposition is now rallying to reject the proposal to ban flavors in e-cigarettes. In practice, this would mean that the proposal would fail in the Riksdag.
I don't want to become a smoker again. Why do you want me to?" This is the question posed by users and entrepreneurs in a film aimed at politicians in the Social Affairs Committee.
The government's proposal for a taste ban on e-cigarettes is delayed. Meanwhile, activists, vejpers and business owners demonstrated outside Parliament.
