Organized by Italy’s Higher Institute of Health in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the “Electronic Cigarettes: Health Benefits and Risks, and Control Policies” conference aims to tackle several key issues, including scientific data, national and EU legislation and safety.
Scheduled to take place on February 13, at the at the headquarters of the Higher Institute of Health, in Rome, the conference presents speakers and attendants with the opportunity to present and learn the latest scientific findings concerning electronic cigarettes and discuss product safety issues, legislation and regulation and self-regulation.
Health authorities in Italy believe the growing popularity and commercial success of e-cigarettes make discussing the risks and benefits of these products on human health mandatory, so they can better propose measures of risk management.
This type of events are becoming increasingly important, since discussions held here could provide valuable information for future regulation of electronic cigarettes, especially since the new tobacco directive recently approved by the European Union gives member states the choice of regulating them as medical products if they so desire.
The plight of electronic cigarettes companies and distributors in Italy is well-known. Last year, the maxi-tax of 58.5% on e-cigarettes, which threatens to put most business owners out of business. The tax increase was scheduled to come into effect at the start of 2014, but according to the latest reports from ANAFE, Italy’s biggest association of e-cigarette producers, only 10 out of 120 operators were able to pass the new stringent authorization process, and none of them are able to pay the new tax. This has forced Italian authorities to suspend the tax temporarily, although e-cigarette business owners hope this respite will be used to change the legislation.
