Spain plans to extend smoking bans to terraces and beaches, and include vapes in new restrictions.Summary
Spain is advancing a tobacco-control reform that would extend smoking bans to outdoor areas such as restaurant terraces and beaches, and bring vaping and other nicotine products under the same regulatory framework as traditional tobacco. The proposal, still under legislative development, aims to reduce secondhand smoke exposure, protect youth, and expand smoke-free environments. It would cover combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and other inhaled nicotine products, reflecting a broader European trend to regulate emerging nicotine products alongside traditional tobacco.
