✔ For a Tobacco-Free Generation by 2040.
We are recommending that EU countries extend smoke-free environment policies to electronic cigarettes and other new products like heated tobacco.
Also, smoke-free environments should cover outdoor recreational areas such as public playgrounds, amusement parks and swimming pools.
These measures will protect people, especially children, from the effects of second-hand smoke.

@EUCommission While I support the ban of consumption in public places, it still should be an individuals own choice to consume such products or not, even if it means that they harm themselves.
@pasci_lei @EUCommission If it didn't affect other people, then yes. But it does affect other people because of public health insurance. The more money is spent on treating diseases caused by smoke, the less money is available for treating everything else.
