Health organisations urge EU action on youth nicotine addiction


Nicotine addiction among young people is no longer a future risk, becoming an urgent concern to be acted upon. This open letter brings together a broad coalition of European and international health organisations to call for a stronger, more coherent response at the EU level.

As new nicotine products continue to evolve and reach younger audiences, the letter underlines the need for earlier prevention strategies, sustained protection, and proactive regulation able to keep pace with the reality of today’s market. Addressing nicotine addiction at its source is key to avoiding a new generation locked into long-term dependence.

This joint letter highlights that the necessary step toward achieving a tobacco-free generation is protecting youth from all forms of nicotine use.
