Deir Comhghuaillíocht Domhanda na Vapers: ’Italy, supported by Greece and Romania, is taking a stand against the EU’s current tobacco control strategy, as reported by Politico. While a coalition of countries led by the Netherlands pushes for rushed revisions to EU tobacco legislation, Italy is calling for a balanced approach that includes proper impact assessments and proportional measures. This comes at a critical time when the EU’s current strategy is proving ineffective—at the current pace, the bloc will miss its smoke-free target by an astonishing 60 years.”

Europe needs risk-based regulation rather than ineffective bans and excessive tax hikes.”
