Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: TED, Tobacco Excise Directive
TPD, Tobacco Products Directive
The internal market is not working, as there is a ban on snus, and also EU Member states trying to form trade barriers on the internal market regarding Nicotine Pouches, while continuing to allow cigarettes. We aim for a fair, non-discriminative internal market where consumer's choice is taken into account.
Sweden now has a viable legislation and taxation on nicotine pouches. Harmonized directives along those principles is necessary if EU is to combat cancer in the future.
Communication Activities: www.snusforumet.se is the editorial site where we inform about news and scientific research. No extended plans at the moment.
