'The 20th century has been described as the century where
governments allowed cigarettes to kill more than 100 million people
(i.e. more than the first and second World Wars and the holocaust
together). This excellent book is a timely study of the complex,
regulatory challenges of e-cigarettes. The review of the scientific
evidence relating to electronic cigarettes in Part I - and of
international and European regulatory approaches in Part II - of
this interdisciplinary, comparative study demonstrates the need for
multilevel health governance with due regard to international human
rights law, world trade law and health law. European health and
risk regulations aim at respecting EU fundamental rights, EU
constitutional law principles (e.g. precautionary, subsidiarity and
proportionality principles) and legitimate ''constitutional
pluralism'' in multilevel health governance. The case-studies of
American and Chinese regulations of e-cigarettes in Part III of
this book illustrate that ''Chinese state-capitalism'' (e.g. its
denial of human rights and constitutional protection of citizens)
and Anglo-American neo-liberalism (e.g. its frequent neglect of
economic and social rights and international public goods) offer
less comprehensive protection of citizen interests, as also
confirmed by the current 'US-China trade wars'. Professor
Gruszczynski's innovative book succeeds in demonstrating the
complexity of ''ordo-liberal'' trade and health regulations of
''market failures'' and ''governance failures'' reconciling civil,
political, economic, social and cultural rights and health risks.'
- Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann, European University Institute, Italy
Combining the insights of leading legal scholars and public health
experts, this timely book provides up-to-date analysis of the
various legal problems emerging at different levels of governance
(international, European and national) in the context of the
regulation of e-cigarettes. Expert contributors investigate the
possible application of the precautionary and harm reduction
principles in this area, examining the legal constraints imposed on
states by international and European rules, as well as the
regulatory approaches currently in place in selected national
jurisdictions. This ground-breaking book offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the topic, combining insights from
medical, public health and legal perspectives. The Regulation of
E-cigarettes will be essential reading for both legal and public
health scholars and students. Providing a comprehensive and
in-depth assessment of the regulatory solutions applied to
e-cigarettes, it will also be a key resource for governmental
officials, NGO's and public health advocates.
