The European Union is set to strengthen anti-smoking legislation, proposing bans on smoking and vaping in many outdoor spaces, aiming to reduce the smoking population significantly by 2040.
The EU's recommendation, though non-binding, signals potential future legislation that could lead to stricter protections against second-hand smoke and vapour exposure in various public areas.
Government authorities aim to extend existing smoking restrictions to include newer products like heated tobacco and e-cigarettes, which are becoming more popular, particularly among youth.
By targeting locations such as swimming pools, beaches, and restaurant terraces, the EU seeks to provide effective protection against harmful vapours and encourage a healthier environment.
