Response to EU cardiovascular health plan

11 Sept 2025

IEVA - the Independent European Vape Alliance - as the umbrella organisation representing national associations, manufacturers, distributors, and specialised retailers of vaping products across the EU, would like to share its contribution to the European Commissions public consultation on the EU Cardiovascular Plan. As the EU intensifies its efforts to reduce the immense burden of smoking on public health and on cardiovascular health in particular vaping products should be recognised as an important harm-reduction tool. They can support smokers in progressively quitting combustible tobacco, thereby helping to reduce and prevent cardiovascular diseases across Europe. IEVA therefore encourages the Commission to recognise the role of vaping in both harm reduction and smoking cessation, and to ensure that these products are considered within the framework of the Cardiovascular Health Plan. By doing so, the EU can strengthen prevention strategies and save lives. You will find attached IEVA's detailed position on the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan.
