Today, 1st February 2013, the EU has released a Fact Sheet for World Cancer Day in which it claims it is fighting cancer. It may well be, but unfortunately in the area of smoking-causated cancer, it is actively promoting it; and by its actions intends to multiply it exponentially.
The EU are egregious liars and should be exposed as such.

World Cancer Day: 10 Facts on EU Action to Fight Cancer
Reference: MEMO/13/54 Event Date: 01/02/2013
"Fact #3: The Commission coordinates EU action to address the risk factors of cancer."
"With one in three cancers being preventable, addressing the risk factors (or determinants) is at the forefront of the Commission's strategy to reduce the burden of cancer. The Commission addresses all the key risk factors, e.g. through an ambitious tobacco control policy comprising both robust laws regulating tobacco products and prohibiting the advertising and sponsorship of such products; an award winning pan-EU campaign "Ex-smokers are unstoppable"; strategies and platforms for joint action on alcohol and nutrition & physical activity bringing together Member States and a wide range of stakeholders including NGOs and industry. ........... ..........."

The statement above concerning tobacco-related cancer, and the attendant implication that the EU Health Commission is fighting it, is an outright lie of impressive proportions.
The truth of the matter is that the Health Commission is engaged on a 'robust' process to protect the cigarette market by eliminating any competitors selling safer tobacco products; the same competitors, incidentally, who are responsible for:
Our calculations demonstrate that the EU will be soon be directly responsible for half of all EU smoking-related deaths - probably by 2024, when that figure (according to the EU's own figures) will be 1 million per year.
How the EU Kills Thousands of UK Citizens
[h=3]The EU protects cigarette and chemotherapy drug sales[/h] The EU Health Commission is clearly determined to protect cigarette sales at any cost. This policy also protects the pharmaceutical industry's vast income from the chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer, thus greatly pleasing two powerful industries with plenty of money to place in an EU Health Commission member's recently-exposed secret offshore bank account, discovered to be holding large sums of money.
The EU are liars. The EU is actively working to promote cancer by protecting cigarette sales and pharmaceutical treatments at any cost. The EU is directly responsible for killing thousands of EU citizens currently, and fully intends to increase that number exponentially by even more unexplainable regulations.
The EU are outright, blatant, egregious liars, and their Health Commission appears to be guilty of murderous corruption.

Notes:
[1] Snus is a specially-processed pouched oral tobacco available only in Sweden, which has a derogation from the EU-wide ban. Almost all the carcinogens have been removed, and together with the fact that no smoke is inhaled, it means that this form of tobacco consumption has no statistically-confirmable risk whatsoever [1a]. A Snus consumer, on average, has the same risk as a non-smoker. Smokers who totally quit, or who switch to Snus, have the same expectation of health outcomes.
[1a] After hundreds of clinical studies, over three decades, and giant-scale meta-analyses of those studies, no elevation of risk for any disease due to Snus consumption was able to be found by the world's leading authority on the statistical epidemiology of tobacco consumption. (PN Lee; Lee, Hamling). In any case, Sweden has such uniquely low levels of tobacco-related cancer that the clinical studies are perhaps not strictly necessary.
[2] The rewrite of the Tobacco Products Directive intends to not only continue the Snus ban that kills ~10% of those who die from smoking-related disease in the EU (in Sweden, 45% of smokers switched to Snus, causing the disease and death rate to fall through the floor); it also proposes to ban e-cigarettes by the expedient of prohibiting nicotine-containing refills. Since 45% of smokers in Sweden walked away from smoking and smoking-causated disease and death by switching to Snus, and we know that e-cigarettes are much more popular with smokers than Snus, it is reasonable to believe that more than 45% of EU smokers will switch to ecigs eventually, given the opportunity. To say otherwise is simply not realistic. We think that at least 50%, and probably 60%, would take this option. (And anecdotal reports tell us that 80% of smokers mentored by e-cigarette owners do in fact succeed in switching.) This literally murderous policy will be directly responsible for half of all smoking-related deaths eventually. The EU's figures indicate that this number will be 1 million per year by 2024.

The truth of the matter is that the Health Commission is engaged on a 'robust' process to protect the cigarette market by eliminating any competitors selling safer tobacco products; the same competitors, incidentally, who are responsible for:
- Reducing smoking by 45% in Sweden
- Reducing Sweden's male smoking prevalence to uniquely low proportions: around 8%
- Reducing Sweden's smoking-related mortality to the lowest of any developed country by a wide margin
- Reducing Sweden's male lung cancer and oral cancer rates to the lowest in Europe
Our calculations demonstrate that the EU will be soon be directly responsible for half of all EU smoking-related deaths - probably by 2024, when that figure (according to the EU's own figures) will be 1 million per year.
