The European Commission and its Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) has published its “preliminary opinion on electronic cigarettes” – and it isn’t very good. The Committee has been quite unfair in the past and the latest document does little to correct this position.
The main purpose of this work, according to SCHEER, “is to assist the Commission in assessing the most recent scientific and technical information on e-cigarettes. Findings presented in the scientific opinion will feed into the Commission’s reporting obligations under Article 28 of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), and will also help the Commission in assessing the potential need for legislative amendments under the Directive or other regulatory/enforcement measures”.
What this means is that their findings and opinions will have a direct impact on TPD3, and in turn on smokers and vapers across Europe in the years to come.
