EU Health Commissioner Várhelyi Continues Misinformation Push on Nicotine

Misinformation from senior health officials carries real consequences. When nicotine is presented without a clear distinction between dependence, combustion and disease risk, smokers may be left believing that safer alternatives offer no meaningful benefit. That confusion does not protect public health; it protects the status quo in which cigarettes remain familiar and widely available. European nicotine policy needs accuracy from the top, especially when millions of adults still smoke.
