Abstract

Despite the implementation of significant measures by European countries in recent years, smoking rates in Europe remain persistently high. The European Commission is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of its tobacco regulations. This article aims to address critical inquiries that arise during the amendment of the regulatory framework. We evaluate the effectiveness of existing tobacco control methods and observe a diminishing impact on promoting smoking cessation. Additionally, we explore how individuals of varying genders respond to the regulatory environment. We propose a comprehensive and evidence-based framework for implementing a taxation system in response to the proliferation of emerging products, including e-cigarettes and heated tobacco. This system is designed to align effectively with health policy objectives, providing a strategic approach to curbing tobacco use and promoting public health.
