How do EU countries want to tackle youth smoking?

European countries are addressing the rise of youth tobacco and e-cigarette use by implementing various laws. Romania banned the sale of vaping products to minors, with fines up to €20,000. Similarly, Ireland and the UK have laws prohibiting sales to those under 18, with penalties including fines and prison time. France restricts e-cigarette sales to under 18s, and Italy prohibits sales to those under 18 with strict age verification. Despite these individual efforts, there is no EU-wide ban on selling tobacco and e-cigarettes to minors. Overall, these actions aim to reduce youth smoking and vaping rates across Europe.
