Spain: Smoking Drops to Record Low

Smoking rates in Spain hit a record low of 25.84% in 2024, down from 33.1% in 2022. This decline is attributed to government efforts like higher tobacco taxes, strict advertising rules, smoke-free zones, and support for quitting. Despite progress, smoking causes around 50,000 deaths each year in Spain. Vaping's popularity is rising, with e-cigarette users doubling in four years, but the government plans to regulate them with restrictions on flavors, indoor use, and possible taxes to align with tobacco laws.
