Regulations & Positions

Tobacco Europe adheres to and endorses compliance requirements set by the laws and regulations governing the industry, including the overarching Framework Convention for Tobacco Control. The association advocates for an open and transparent line of communication with all the interested parties when meeting with regulators and external stakeholders.
About Industry Exclusion
Community
The goal of tobacco harm reduction is to prevent or reduce the health risk associated with smoking for people reluctant or unwilling to stop.
About Community
Taxation
Tobacco Europe is of the view that any decision on taxation should reflect the concerns and core interests of individual Member States. Therefore, any increase in the minimum rates must be limited as Member States should have full control over their fiscal policy and on how they generate revenue.
About Taxation
Products
We support reasonable, proportionate, and evidence-based regulation that respects adult freedom of choice and recognizes that tobacco and new nicotine products are consumed by more than a billion people worldwide.
About Products
Marketing
