إجراء مقترح من ليتوانيا: التبغ ومنتجاته

The Draft Law introduces a requirement to display the contact details of the national smoking-cessation telephone line (hereinafter – the Quitline) on relevant tobacco product packaging, electronic cigarette leaflets, and in retail sales areas. It also clarifies the administrative procedures for evaluating tobacco product notifications submitted through the EU-CEG portal, introduces state fees for these services, and sets standardized timelines for evaluation and market placement. Overall, the goal is to expand the visibility and use of free smoking-cessation support services, enhance public awareness of available assistance, and strengthen regulatory oversight. By improving access to these services, the proposed measures are expected to increase the effectiveness of smoking-cessation efforts and contribute to reducing nicotine dependence, along with the broader health, social, and economic harms associated with tobacco use.
