The European initiative "Call to achieve a tobacco-free environment and the first tobacco-free European generation by 2030", led by several European associations, was accepted by the European Commission on August 24 and was officially launched on January 16, 2023, and will end on January 16, 2024. The public launch will be marked by coordinated events organized in each country on January 26, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n

One million signatures from at least seven EU member states are needed for the European Commission to act on the initiative.<\/p>\n

To achieve the goal of collecting 1 million signatures, the European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention (ENSP) has developed a website containing all the necessary information on the measures being implemented. The website has been translated into all EU languages so that any European citizen can easily access it and share it within their communities.<\/p>\n

A coherent set of measures to achieve a tobacco-free generation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The initiators want European legislation to prevent young people from starting to use tobacco while limiting its impact on the environment. To achieve this, they recommend several measures, including:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Promote the first European tobacco-free generation by 2028, by ending the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to citizens born since 2010;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Create a European network of smoke-free beaches and riverbanks, making these spaces healthier and more ecologically sustainable;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Create a European network of smoke-free national parks, to make them healthier and reduce cigarette butt pollution and fire risks;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Expand outdoor spaces without tobacco or vaping, especially those frequented by minors (parks, swimming pools, events and sports centers, shows and restaurant terraces);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Eliminate advertising and the presence of tobacco in audiovisual productions, social media, by specifically targeting \u201cunder the radar\u201d advertising through influencers and product placement;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Fund research and development projects on diseases caused by smoking in order to improve their prognosis and make them curable.<\/p>\n
