Leaked WHO Documents Uncover Europe’s New Senseless Nicotine War
A leaked EU draft proposes treating non-combustible nicotine products like vapes and heated tobacco the same as cigarettes, causing concern for harm reduction progress. The document suggests labeling these products as addictive "gateways," potentially leading to bans and restrictions that disregard harm reduction evidence. Sweden challenges EU bans on nicotine pouches, emphasizing their public health benefits. Critics argue the EU's approach could hinder efforts to reduce smoking-related harm, opposing proven strategies like those in Sweden, Japan, and the UK. Public health advocates call for science-based policies and raise alarm over a potential EU-wide prohibition, warning against ignoring harm reduction in favor of outdated ideology.
