Commercial tobacco farming and manufacturing no longer occurs in Australia. However, the Commonwealth and state and territory governments have environmental and occupational health and safety legislation, regulation and policies in place to protect the environment and the health of persons in relation to the environment. Tobacco manufacturers are subject to these requirements if they return their operations to Australia.
All cigarettes manufactured or imported into Australia are subject to the mandatory standard for reduced fire cigarettes. A reduced fire risk cigarette is a cigarette that slows down the rate at which a cigarette burns. The mandatory standard excludes loose tobacco and cigars. https://www.productsafety.gov.au/standards/reduced-fire-risk-cigarettes |

El artículo 331 del mencionado Acuerdo establece los criterios para determinar las normas de emisión, descargas y vertidos que deben considerarse, estos se detallan a continuación:
- Tipos de fuentes y actividades reguladas.
- Los valores de fondo o distribución del contaminante en el área de aplicación de la norma, su metodología de medición y los resultados encontrados.
- La relación entre las emisiones, vertidos y descargas del contaminante y la calidad ambiental del recurso.
- La capacidad de asimilación y de auto depuración del medio receptor o recurso involucrado en la materia normada.
- Los efectos que produce el contaminante sobre la salud de las personas, la flora y fauna.
- Las tecnologías aplicadas a cada caso y un análisis de la factibilidad técnica y económica de su implementación.
Dentro de la regulación ambiental, se establece la aprobación y seguimiento al cumplimiento de Planes de Manejo Ambientales por parte de la Autoridad Ambiental de Aplicación Responsable. La industria regulada en el plazo de un año deben cumplir con las medidas aprobadas por la Autoridad, mediante informes de cumplimiento en parámetros físico-químicos de descargas de efluentes provenientes de calderos y áreas de producción, emisiones de gases de fuentes fijas (caldero), mediciones de Niveles de Presión Sonora (Ruido Laboral e Industrial), manejo integral de los desechos sólidos y manejo de desechos peligrosos con gestores autorizados.

Directive 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment" (Single-use plastics Directive- SUPD) was adopted in 2019. The SUPD implements measures in respect of ‘tobacco products with filters’ taking into consideration the protection of the environment and the protection of health following Article 1 SUPD.
Article 7 on Marking Requirements requires that tobacco products with filters bear a conspicuous, clearly legible and indelible marking on its packaging or on the product itself informing consumers of the presence of plastics in the product and the resulting negative impact of littering, as well as of appropriate waste management options for the product. Under Article 8(3) the Directive introduces Extended Producer Responsibility schemes covering the cost to clean-up litter, applied to products such as tobacco filters.
See the Single Use Plastics Directive here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32019L0904&from=EN
In addition, the EU Rural Development programmes 2014-2020 maintain the possibility to grant an aid (per hectare) to compensate the loss of revenue for farmers (lower yield or higher costs) that implement more "environment friendly" practices. These practices cover different aspects of cultivation, such as: set-aside areas, areas not cultivated along rivers, lake or wood; less use of fertilizers and/or pesticides; better irrigation…Aid may also be granted for training and exchange of experiences, as well as for reforestation. These measures may indirectly protect health of the farmers and (seasonal) workers. |

Por otro lado, se hace control de la implantación de las regulaciones sobre salud laboral y sobre protección al medio ambiente en el entorno laboral. |
En España, se pueden distinguir medidas de protección del medio ambiente en los siguientes ámbitos:
* Dentro del primer pilar de la política agraria comunitaria (PAC):
En el marco de los pagos directos, la última reforma de la PAC da una mayor importancia a la sostenibilidad medioambiental de la agricultura dentro del primer pilar de la PAC, en la UE.
Así, esta nueva PAC dentro de los pagos directos, ha introducido un nuevo pago denominado “Pago para prácticas agrícolas beneficiosas para el clima y el medio ambiente” (conocida comúnmente como “greening” o “pago verde”). Este pago es obligatorio para los agricultores y cuenta con una dotación presupuestaria de un 30% del sobre nacional de cada Estado miembro, de la UE, dentro de los pagos directos. Se concede un pago anual por cada hectárea admisible, siempre que se respeten determinadas prácticas medioambientales, dependiendo de la estructura de la explotación. Así, los agricultores con derecho a un pago en virtud del “régimen de pago básico” deben respetar dichas prácticas en todas las hectáreas de su explotación.
Se consideran prácticas beneficiosas para el clima y el medio ambiente: la diversificación de cultivos, el mantenimiento de los pastos permanentes existentes y contar con superficies de interés ecológico en la explotación (barbecho, superficies dedicadas a cultivos fijadores de nitrógeno, superficies forestadas y superficies dedicadas a agrosilvicultura). Estas prácticas de “greening” buscan mejorara el comportamiento ambiental y de cara al cambio climático de las explotaciones.
Al tratarse el tabaco de un cultivo en tierra arable, le afecta el cumplimiento de la diversificación de cultivos y de las superficies de interés ecológico, que el agricultor deberá respectar en función de la estructura de su explotación. En concreto, estas dos prácticas van dirigidas directamente a la mejora del suelo y a la biodiversidad, con efectos también en lo que tiene que ver con la mitigación del cambio climático.
* Dentro del segundo pilar de la PAC:
En Extremadura (principal región productora de tabaco en España, con el 95,38% de la producción total), en el marco de su PDR, existe una medida agroambiental que favorece la producción integrada de tabaco, haciendo este cultivo más sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental.
Por otro lado, se hace control de la implantación de las regulaciones sobre salud laboral y sobre protección al medio ambiente en el entorno laboral. |
