Tobacco: EU Commission consultation has closed
Transparency is not a procedural detail in EU tobacco policy; it is part of the evidence base. A consultation that is criticised as complex, steering or opaque risks weakening trust before legislation is even drafted. That matters especially in a debate where cigarettes, vapes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches carry different risk profiles and require careful distinction. Europe’s next framework should be built through a process clear enough to support credible, proportionate regulation.
