By stigmatising tobacco products, governments are ostracizing the smokers from normal society. The law should not impose excessive regulations on consumers.
Smokers must be allowed to smoke in public places where there is no significant inconvenience to others. If we’re not allowed to smoke in a park, what’s next?
Forest EU calls for a neutral review of the impact of TPD2. The EU should attempt no further legislation on tobacco before we know how this directive has worked.
