This alarming statistic has prompted a call for governments to enact stricter controls on these health-harmful industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--padding-remove-top\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Policy changes and industry responses<\/h2>\n<p>The WHO report urgently calls for sweeping regulatory changes, including implementing marketing restrictions, curbing the ability of individual companies or trade sectors to control and manipulate markets and ensuring that trade agreements and economic policies prioritise public health over corporate profits.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, industry representatives and lobbyists have reacted defensively. FoodDrinkEurope which represents the interests of food and drink companies, national food and drink federations, and specific sectoral associations based in Europe and SpiritsEurope which acts as the European representative body for producers of spirit drinks with a membership comprising of 31 national associations representing the industry in 24 countries as well as a group of 10 leading spirits producing companies dispute the comparisons made between their products and the tobacco industry, arguing that the categorisation of UPFs lacks a universal definition and even attempt to claim partial credit for declining alcohol-related deaths due to their self-regulated efforts. <\/p>\n<p>Tobacco Europe, which represents tobacco behemoths such as British American Tobacco, Japan Tobacco International, and Imperial Brands, as well as 8 national manufacturing associations from across Europe, claims it\u2019s a commitment to developing less harmful products as part of Europe&#8217;s Beating Cancer plan.  <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--padding-remove-top\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Comment by Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway<\/h2>\n<p>Every year we help millions of people who are trapped in addiction to find their way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/top-tips-to-stop-smoking\/\">freedom from smoking<\/a>, vaping, alcohol, unhealthy eating, and many other addictions and behavioural issues.
