Impossible by design: the EU survey on future tobacco and nicotine policy
The EU published a survey on future tobacco and nicotine regulation, aiming to shape upcoming policies. The survey raises concerns due to its limited scope and lack of consideration for harm reduction strategies or citizen input. It highlights a bias towards a prohibitionist approach and fails to address the diverse needs of the one hundred million tobacco and nicotine users in the EU. The survey lacks genuine consultation and instead aims to push a preset agenda. Eight major issues with the questionnaire are identified.
