Tadej Ostrc stated that he did not propose lifting the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces, in school playgrounds, or in cars when children are present, nor did he propose lifting the ban on flavors in electronic cigarettes. He emphasized that these changes have not been confirmed and are not part of his health policy guidelines. He described the document that became public as an incomplete working draft, not as an approved proposal from the Ministry of Health. He mentioned that the existing protective provisions of tobacco legislation will be maintained and incorporated into a new regulation, and that the circumstances of the preparation and submission of the document will be verified. He highlighted the goal of more effective prevention, reducing the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco, and protecting children and adolescents. #zdravje #preventiva #tobak (translated)
