“From now on all legislative acts adopted by the government must contain a forecast of how will influence the adoption of a decision on human health. For example, the decision on increase of excises on tobacco will be considered as a positive effect on the content of the budget, and that this solution contributes to the decrease of tobacco affordability, and hence reducing the prevalence of Smoking. Or in the decision to reduce the taxation of electric cars will take into account that it promotes not only greater affordability, but also reduces the level of air pollution in cities and associated morbidity and mortality,” the message reads.

It is noted that the introduction of the principle of priority of preservation of health of the population meets the conditions of the Agreement on Association of Ukraine with the European Union.
