España, ante un nuevo frente en Bruselas por la guerra de Mónica García a las bolsas de nicotina
The Spanish government is in conflict with Brussels again, this time over a Health Ministry bill pushed by the left-wing Sumar coalition. The proposal seeks to heavily restrict the vaping and nicotine pouch market by banning all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco and capping nicotine pouches at 0.99 mg, which would effectively remove them from the market. The plan has sparked strong criticism within the EU. Seven countries — Hungary, Italy, Romania, Sweden, Greece, the Czech Republic and Croatia — along with the European Commission, have raised formal objections, arguing that Spain’s proposal violates the principle of free movement of goods, a cornerstone of the single market. Currently, 18 member states allow flavored vapes and 13 permit nicotine pouches.
