Spanish National Smoking Prevention Plan to be Implemented by Year End
Spanish Health Minister Mónica García announced plans for comprehensive tobacco legislation reforms to be implemented by the end of the year.

According to reports from the Spanish media outlet Infobae on Tuesday, Health Minister Mónica García stated during a joint congressional committee meeting on Monday that she expects most of the legislative changes in the national plan for tobacco control and prevention to be implemented by the end of the year.

 

Garcia is urging the public to take note that regulations regarding plain packaging are currently in the public consultation phase. Additionally, a series of new legal provisions concerning products like e-cigarettes and other tobacco-related items are similar to traditional tobacco regulations. These include modifications to the tax system, expansion of smoke-free zones, and new regulations on smoking research and the introduction of plain packaging, which will be further implemented in the coming days.

 

Garcia emphasized, "Although Spain has long prided itself on its achievements in the fight against smoking, the challenges of recent years have made us realize that existing regulations are no longer sufficient for the needs of the 21st century."

 

She stated that the Ministry of Health will actively listen, seek dialogue, and reach consensus with everyone. "The ship has already set sail, and we welcome everyone on board, but we will not retreat," Garcia concluded with a warning.
