Vapers face €2,000 fine on 38 Spanish beaches

Vaping now incurs a €2,000 fine on 38 beaches in Barcelona and the Balearic islands, in line with new regulations. Spain's smoking ban covers 700 beaches and public restaurant terraces, with upcoming restrictions on disposable vapes and non-tobacco flavors. The Anti-Tobacco Plan aims to curb health risks and youth exposure. Recommendations include banning smoking in vehicles with minors and better vape labeling. Despite Spain's high smoking rate and vaping popularity, concerns exist on fueling black markets. The proposed laws may impact EU vape policies. Spain could join countries like Denmark and Finland in flavor bans if the decree passes.


24.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 9.6 million current smokers in Spain.
