The EU Is Stepping Backwards

Concerns are rising that current EU policy directions on vaping may reverse previous progress. Critics argue that stricter rules could discourage smokers from switching to less harmful alternatives. There are also fears that excessive regulation will drive consumers toward unregulated or illegal products. Evidence from other regions suggests that prohibition-style measures can produce counterproductive outcomes. The situation highlights ongoing disagreements about the future of nicotine regulation in Europe.
