Overall, countries which failed to undertake new initiatives lost points and fell in the ranking. The countries that are leading tobacco control in Europe are those that have comprehensive tobacco control policies.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Six countries (UK, Ireland, Iceland, France, Norway and Finland) have 60 points or more, nine countries have scores in the 50s (Romania, Spain, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Malta, Poland), and the remaining 20 countries failed to reach 50% of the total score possible.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The EU Tobacco Products Directive (Table 5) obliged EU countries to introduce pictorial health warnings. Six countries (UK, France, Ireland, Hungary, Norway and Slovenia) adopted plain packaging legislation, although only the UK and France had plain packs at the point of sales on 1 January 2017.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","hash":"36211ed6c01b0b2a45abff3493732aa9","css":"","js":""}
