The European Commission just buried its own smoking data. Why?
The European Commission released a new EU survey on tobacco and nicotine after a debate on tobacco policy. The report showed minimal decrease in smoking rates, with notable successes in some countries like Czechia. The Commission's bias against safer nicotine products, apparent from past reports, is evident. Conflicts between findings and policy preferences were covered up by manipulating data and lack of media coverage. The fight for safer nicotine products is more about politics than data, influencing upcoming tobacco rulebook reviews. The Commission's stance isn't swayed by science but public opinion, highlighting a disconnect between policy-making and factual evidence.
