Durch direkte Anschreiben, Positionspapiere oder öffentliche Publikationen wird unmittelbar der Kontakt mit Politikerinnen und Politikern, insbesondere Mitgliedern des Deutschen Bundestages und Beauftragten der Bundesregierung, gesucht. Der BVRA e.V. tritt als unabhängiger Konsumentenverband für eine dem Schadstoffgehalt (gegenüber dem brennbaren Tabak) angemessene Regulierung der sog. Substitute für Tabakzigaretten ein. Diese noch recht neue Konsumform nikotinhaltiger oder auch -freier E-Liquids leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag im Sinne der Tabakkontrolle (Harm Reduction) und hat das Potential, die Raucherquoten drastisch zu senken. Eine übermäßige Regulierung behindert diesen Prozess der sinnvollen Tabakkontrolle. Wir möchten als reine Verbrauchervertretung den politischen Entscheidern das notwendige Hintergrundwissen vermitteln und stehen ihnen bei Bedarf gern beratend zur Seite.
