Spain plans to expand smoking-free zones to include beaches, terraces and cars. The move is aimed at reducing smoking and e-cigarette use, especially among minors. Nofumadores.org calls for the withdrawal of e-cigarettes from the market.
According to a recent report by European Weekly, the Spanish Ministry of Health is planning to promote an anti-tobacco plan to expand smoke-free zones and ban e-cigarettes.
The Ministry of Health has made it a priority to expand the scope of smoke-free spaces, including terraces, beaches and inside cars with minors and pregnant women. The move will cover all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.
Health Minister Mónica García and Health Secretary of State Javier Padilla said at a press conference:
"We must revisit this plan because this initiative is the only way to provide the population with more years and a better quality of life - by reducing smoking."
Garcia cited the draft Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Control of Smoking 2021-2025 prepared by her department in December 2019, which was finalized with input from scientific associations and the National Council for Tobacco Prevention (CNPT). The plan aims to expand smoke-free spaces, such as in cars, on beaches or on terraces where minors and pregnant women are present, as well as to address new challenges posed by vaping products.
Reducing the use of smoking and e-cigarettes has become a major priority, and Garcia confirmed that during this legislative period, the anti-tobacco program will focus on several laws to try to reduce tobacco consumption, especially among minors.
The Ministry of Health will regulate the use of vaping devices, which former Health Minister José Miñones admitted were "not what they are advertised as" as a method of quitting smoking. According to the National Council for the Prevention of Tobacco (CNPT), e-cigarettes quadruple the probability of becoming a traditional tobacco smoker.
In addition, 80% of minors who smoke start with e-cigarettes.
Aiming at the smoking behavior of minors, Andalusia has announced a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.
If the Smoking Prevention and Control Plan does become law, smoke-free spaces will be expanded, not only on terraces, but also on open-air sports grounds (such as football fields or athletics fields) and in open-air areas where minors are expected to be present. , including beaches.
