Abstract

Europska unija i regulacija duhanske politike područje je koje je izazivalo niz kontroverzi. Duhan kojemu su pripisivana ljekovita i magična svojstva, koji je najrasprostranjenija biljka u svijetu je prošao takvu promjenu paradigme da ga danas poistovjećujemo s preuranjenom smrću. S jedne strane pušenje je legalno, a s druge znanstveno dokazano uzrokuje smrt. Općeniti odnos prema duhanskoj politici ima stabilnih i nestabilnih elemenata; riječ je o najvećoj transformaciji odnosa javnih vlasti prema istoj. Od divljenja i poticanja uzgoja, promoviranja "zdravlja" i velikih zarada do rigoroznih ograničenja kojima se pokušava smanjiti, ako ne i u potpunosti iskorijeniti pušenje. Od inkrementalnih promjena - polaganog jačanja utjecaja zdravstvenih tj. javnih interesa do radikalne promjene - denormalizacije cigareta i uvođenja normiziranih pakiranja. Socioekonomski uvjeti, odnos političkih elita, spremnost prihvaćanja restrikcija usprkos prisutnosti duhanskih divova, uloga i ideja i njihov utjecaj na svijest - sve su to čimbenici koji su utjecali na to kako će se institucije, stupovi društva u državama članicama Europske Unije postaviti i regulirati ovo područje i koliko će držati korak za duhanskim kompanijama koje spadaju u najjače i najbogatije multinacionalne kompanije na svijetu.

Abstract (english)

The European Union and regulation of tobacco policy is a controversial area. Tobacco, which had been used as a medicament is the most widespread plant on earth which has passed through such a change in paradigms that today is related to death. On the one side smoking is legal but on the other it causes death. Generally tobacco policy has stable and unstable elements. It is about the biggest transformation of public authorities on this area. From enthusiasm and encouragement to growth, promotions of "health" and enormous profits to rigorous regulations which are trying to decrease and through time eradicate smoking. Regulation of tobacco policy has passed from incremental change - slow growth of health and public interests to radical change - renormalization of cigarettes and introduction to norm packs. Factors which have had most influence on regulation of this area are: socioeconomic conditions, relations of political elites, willingness to accept restrictions and ideas and their affect on consciousness in society. The question that remains is: For how long will the regulations of EU keep step with tobacco multinational companies which are one the largest and most powerful companies in the world?
