Pledge for Members of the European Parliament

Tobacco is the main cause of preventable death in Europe, killing 1 in 2 smokers and resulting in up to 19,000 deaths from second hand smoke (other people’s cigarettes). Smoking related illnesses and premature deaths cost the EU economy about 100 billion € every year.

As an MEP, I pledge to promote the effective implementation of the FCTC.

Comprehensive protection from tobacco smoke;
Strong measures to counter tobacco marketing, promotion and imagery;
Commitment to taxation as a tool to reduce smoking prevalence;
Tough new measures to control tobacco smuggling;
Promotion of effective stop smoking measures;
Stopping tobacco industry influence on government’s tobacco control policies;
Making the industry liable for its actions;

Pledge for Members of the European Parliament

The pledge list is based on the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), the first public health treaty. The Treaty has been ratified by 26 EU Member States and the European Commission. It reaffirms the right of all people to the highest standard of health.
