EU neighbours slam Spain’s pouch ban plan
Spain faces obstacles in banning nicotine pouches and most vapes as six EU nations present objections, triggering a three-month standstill period for Spain to address concerns on the proposed legislation. If issues are not resolved, implementation may be delayed or blocked. Concerns mainly revolve around EU market rules and the perceived disproportionate limits on nicotine pouches. Spain must either defend the legislation's impact on the internal market or revise it by July 28th to satisfy dissenting countries. The objections are uncommon, with objections typically being minimal in the EU.
24.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 9.6 million current smokers in Spain.
