EU’s “Loaded” Public Questionnaire Pushes Anti-Nicotine Agenda
The EU’s tobacco consultation is facing criticism for framing safer nicotine products through the same lens as cigarettes.

Consumer voices matter because regulation directly affects people trying to move away from smoking. A credible policy process should ask better questions before reaching restrictive answers.
