    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The resolution now calls for extending bans to outdoor areas and new products, with added evidence on third-hand smoke and Eurobarometer data. It adds a call to revise tobacco directives after scientific evaluations and removes references to industry opposition and tobacco farming. Funding provisions are rephrased, adding concern about EU health financing levels. Other changes are wording and formal: rephrasing of health risks and terminology updates.
