Call for evidence deadline: 17th June

Read the “Evaluation of the legislative framework for tobacco control” brief here and click HERE to submit your views.

The EU commission would like to hear your views on the modern ways to manage and curb smoking addiction. Future tobacco regulation must be based on sound data and evidence to ensure risk – proportionate regulation is adopted for new product categories.

The Commission will evaluate the tobacco control legislative framework, namely the promotion, sponsorship, product regulation and advertising, in the broader context of other related tobacco control policies. This comes in response to the rapid rise of recent technological advancements in emerging products.

This evaluation will assess to what extent the framework has fulfilled its goals and whether it is able to support a ‘Tobacco-Free Generation’ by 2040, as announced in the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.
