Over 200 European companies and organizations urge the European Commission to carefully assess the economic impact of upcoming tobacco and nicotine legislation changes. They emphasize that new regulations could affect jobs, investments, and public revenues. While supporting public health goals, they call for evidence-based rules that consider economic and social effects. The appeal coincides with the EU's review of several tobacco directives. The signatories highlight the tobacco sector's significant economic contribution, supporting over 1.5 million jobs and generating substantial tax revenues. They also express concerns about illicit trade and its potential growth due to new regulations.
