Is European Commission caution on tobacco regulation based on science?

The European Commission delays revisiting key tobacco directives like TPD, TAD, and TED until at least 2026, despite calls for stricter regulations. Commissioner Hoekstra advocates for tougher measures against smoking and vaping, while industry groups criticize his stance. The World Vapers’ Alliance argues against claims equating vaping to smoking, highlighting its harm reduction potential. Flavor preferences among adult vapers are non-tobacco, with fruit flavors popular. They argue that higher taxes on flavored vapes could deter smokers from switching to safer options. The debate on tobacco and vaping continues, with regulatory changes pending further reviews in the future.
