Protecting EU health policy from tobacco lobbying

The European Commission should limit interactions with the tobacco industry, publicize and fully document meetings. Lobbying influences EU legislation, especially in industries like tobacco that prioritize profit over public health. Stricter regulations are needed to prevent industry lobbying from endangering lives and healthcare systems. Transparent and limited engagements with the tobacco industry are crucial to uphold public-health policies. The commission’s inconsistent transparency practices reveal the necessity for more stringent regulations.
