=='MAJOR NEW SURVEY'== | |||
Today ETHRA is launching a major survey. Published in the run up to the revision of the European Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), this is the only questionnaire to survey nicotine consumers, the people most affected by possible regulatory changes to nicotine products. | Today ETHRA is launching a major survey.

=='WHAT IS IT ABOUT?'== | |||
The survey asks questions about the use of different nicotine products in order to discern conditions for users across Europe. The practical consequences of possible regulatory changes are also examined. How would you react to increased taxes, vape flavour bans or to the legalisation of snus? Is there a need for greater access to product information? Would lifting the container restriction on e-liquids have any impact? What is missing for people who want to quit smoking? These are some of the themes of the survey launched by ETHRA and its 22 member associations. | The survey asks questions about the use of different nicotine products in order to discern conditions for users across Europe.

=='DATA TO SHED LIGHT ON EUROPEAN DEBATES'== | |||
The results of the survey will allow advocates of safer products to collect data on nicotine use in Europe, ahead of some key European Union (EU) regulatory deadlines. The European Commission is preparing proposals to amend two directives in 2021: | The results of the survey will allow advocates of safer products to collect data on nicotine use in Europe, ahead of some key European Union (EU) regulatory deadlines.

=='TENS OF MILLIONS OF EUROPEANS AFFECTED'== | |||
These issues concern tens of millions of Europeans: people who use safer nicotine products, people who smoke and who might switch to safer products, their relatives, and also social and health professionals in the field. Building reliable knowledge organically from users is an essential part of harm reduction approaches. This initiative is part of this successful strategy, being both '''about''' and '''with''' users. | These issues concern tens of millions of Europeans: people who use safer nicotine products, people who smoke and who might switch to safer products, their relatives, and also social and health professionals in the field.
