Effective tobacco control policies include law issuing: bans/restrictions on smoking in public areas and workplaces, increasing of taxes on tobacco products, bans on advertising of tobacco products, warning labels on cigarette boxes. For some of these policies the European Union (EU) has introduced specific directives that EU member states have to put into law. This paper briefly presents literature data, EU directives and the laws consequently issued in Italy. The importance of standardizing European legislation, especially for those policies that are not enforced by EU directives is also discussed. In Italy and in some other European countries smoking is forbidden in public and work-places, despite no EU directive. The positive impact of this ban in these countries suggests that it should be considered a priority in the European policies against tobacco in order to reduce the gap between literature recommendations and actions.
在公共场所和工作场所禁止/限制吸烟、提高烟草产品税、禁止烟草产品广告、在香烟盒上设置警示标签。欧盟（EU）已针对其中一些政策出台了具体指令，欧盟成员国必须将其转化为法律。本文简要介绍了相关文献数据、欧盟指令以及意大利据此颁布的法律。还讨论了统一欧洲立法的重要性，特别是对于那些未由欧盟指令强制实施的政策。在意大利和其他一些欧洲国家，尽管没有欧盟指令，但在公共场所和工作场所禁止吸烟。这一禁令在这些国家产生的积极影响表明，为缩小文献建议与实际行动之间的差距，应将其视为欧洲烟草控制政策的优先事项。
