Perceptions of e-Cigarettes and Heated Tobacco Products Among Never Users of Nicotine in the European Union
Although appeal of e-cigarettes and Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) was relatively low among people who have never used e-cigarettes, HTPs, or smoking tobacco in the EU, appeal was higher among younger age groups, which are often targeted by the industry. We also found substantial support for stricter regulatory policies for e-cigarettes and HTPs across the EU. These findings might encourage governments to increase restrictions around these emerging nicotine and tobacco products.
