Calling on users to have their say on EU nicotine taxes
The European Commission is collecting feedback on a proposal to tax new nicotine products, causing concern in Sweden. The Swedish Snus Association opposes the tax hike, arguing it may hinder smoking reduction efforts. Over 13,000 European comments have been submitted, with many Swedes warning against increased prices for nicotine pouches. Users stress the importance of snus in reducing smoking rates and suggest taxing products based on risk level. Danish and French users agree, emphasizing the need for realistic alternatives and harm reduction. Concerns include potential black market growth and negative impact on national strategies to reduce smoking.
