W 2022 roku rozpowszechnienie palenia tytoniu wśród dorosłych w Mołdawii wynosiło 26,4% w grupie osób w wieku 15 lat i starszych, przy wyraźnej różnicy między płciami. Wśród mężczyzn odsetek palących sięgał 49,8%, podczas gdy wśród kobiet był znacznie niższy i wynosił 6%. Dane te wskazują na utrzymującą się tendencję do palenia, ponieważ ogólna liczba palących nieznacznie wzrosła z 24,5% w 2020 roku. Szacuje się, że w 2022 roku w Mołdawii było około 881 535 palaczy, co stanowi wzrost w porównaniu z 821 313 osobami w 2020 roku. Dla porównania, w 2017 roku codzienne palenie deklarowało 20,5% dorosłych, w tym 38% mężczyzn i 4,7% kobiet. Zgony związane z paleniem tytoniu stanowią również poważny problem zdrowia publicznego – w 2021 roku odnotowano 5 376 takich przypadków, co stanowiło 10,71% wszystkich zgonów w kraju. W tym okresie z powodu palenia zmarło 4 649 mężczyzn i 726 kobiet, co dodatkowo podkreśla zróżnicowany wpływ tego zjawiska ze względu na płeć. Przedstawione dane wyraźnie wskazują na utrzymujące się wyzwania związane z paleniem tytoniu w Mołdawii i potrzebę konsekwentnych działań w ramach polityki zdrowia publicznego.

The European Union (EU) Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) 2016 Changes to the EU TPD
- No Fire, No Smoke: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction
The TPD is a Directive of the EU which means that all EU countries must ‘transpose’ or incorporate the TPD requirements into their national laws. The only flexibility permitted is the ability to enact additional regulations. The current Directive entered into force on 19th May 2014 and became applicable in the EU Member States on 20th May 2016.
In 2014 a revised Tobacco Products Directive known as TPD 2 was issued by the EU to update the 2001 Tobacco Products Directive. TPD2 regulates all tobacco products in the European Union and its scope is wide. It covers product regulation in terms of reporting obligations of ingredients and emissions for all tobacco products. It includes product packaging and labelling including the size and appearance of products, traceability features to be fixed onto packaging as well as health warnings. It covers cross-border advertising of tobacco products; it reinforces the ban on oral tobacco products (snus), but importantly it provides for the placing on the market of e-cigarettes and refill containers, as well as making provision for notification of novel tobacco products. It also provides for herbal cigarettes.
