What does the EPHI report *Who Gets to Talk to Brussels?* say about tobacco?
The report, written by Seth Engellau, identifies tobacco as one of three sectors (along with food and alcohol). It states that 26.5 percent of adults in the EU used tobacco in 2022, compared to 20.9 percent globally (WHO 2025), and that the tobacco sector accounts for over 1.5 million jobs in the EU-27. The report explicitly states that it does not advocate for any particular policy, but rather examines how stakeholders’ access to decision-makers influences the basis for decision-making.
