Join a live chat with Linda McAvan, the author of proposals that would make it more difficult for tobacco marketing to target young people and S&D Group President Hannes Swoboda to have your say on a new Tobacco Product Directive (TPD)


The TPD would include:


· a tough law which cuts the number of new smokers and encourages smokers to quit.


· Enlarging picture warnings already on smoking packaging


· a ban on flavoured and slim cigarettes


Every year almost 700,000 people die prematurely in the European Union of tobacco-related causes such as cancers, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. And yet, teenagers still start smoking at a very early age. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 20% of boys and 15% of girls aged between 13 and 15 in the European region smoke.

Question No.1: If the TPD aims to protect children from direct tobacco marketing as depicted in the image why is a non-tobacco product being attacked?
 
Question No.2: Do you understand how slappable your face is when you force a smile?
