Spain Moves to Ban Smoking and Vaping on Bar Terraces, Beaches, Stadiums, and Bus Stops
Spain’s minority government has introduced a bill to prohibit smoking and the use of e-cigarettes in outdoor venues such as beaches, bar and restaurant terraces, bus stops, and sports stadiums.

The bill excludes plain packaging; Spain records over 50,000 smoking-related deaths annually.
