GFN.TV Interviews | IS THE UK AND EU CLOSING THE NET ON SAFER NICOTINE?
from GFN News · host GFN.TV
Public health says it wants to end smoking. Yet from London to Brussels, policymakers are advancing measures that treat safer nicotine like combustible tobacco—through high taxes, public bans, and regulatory equalization. In the UK, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill hands sweeping powers to the Secretary of State. In the EU, new tax schemes could bind member states and redirect national excise revenue to Brussels. In this GFN interviews, Martin Cullip argues these measures converge into what he calls “pro-smoking” policy—undermining harm reduction, eroding national sovereignty, and putting millions of adult consumers across Europe at risk. Featuring: MARTIN CULLIP Intl. Fellow, Taxpayers Protection Alliance protectingtaxpayers.org @Protectaxpayers @NannyFreeState
