Every year in the EU, 700,000 people lose their lives due to tobacco consumption.
To better protect people, we have put forward new recommendations for smoke-free environments, including:
🔹 extending smoke-free environment policies to outdoor areas, including public playgrounds, healthcare and education premises;
🔹 covering new products such as electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco goods.
We will also make €96 million in EU funding available to support research.
