The Rookpreventie Jeugd (youth smoking prevention foundation) is suing the Dutch government over its relationship with the tobacco industry, according to a story by Janene Van Jaarsveldt for the NL Times
The government is accused of not complying with the World Health Organization’s international anti-tobacco treaty, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, because it is allowing the tobacco industry to influence anti-tobacco policies.
The foundation’s website, Tabaknee.nl, claims that the government invites the tobacco industry to present its positions during policy development.
