Spanish Advocates Fear Worsening Outlook for Tobacco Harm Reduction
The Ministry of Health intends to amend the law, which regulates sale, supply, consumption and advertising, in order to “combat smoking.” The consultation opened in July and closed on August 15. Advocates like Dr. Escrig, who has a PhD in molecular biology and is based in Madrid, have reason to fear that not only cigarettes but vapes and other safer nicotine products will be in the crosshairs.
24.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 9.6 million current smokers in Spain.
