Abstract
This chapter presents the study’s findings in relation to the development, negotiation and adoption of the European Union’s 2014 Tobacco Products Directive, focusing on the activities of transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) in attempting to block, amend and/or delay the passage of the Directive within the European Union’s institutions. It analyses the political strategies of TTCs, and those of third parties acting for them, in lobbying the European Commission, the European Parliament and member states within the Council of the European Union.
