According to the Spanish media Infobae on May 10th, the National Committee for Tobacco Prevention (CNPT) in Spain is calling for e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and other related products to also be required to use plain packaging, in addition to tobacco products.
The CNPT stated in a press release that plain packaging has been proven to enhance people's recognition of health warnings on packaging, and recommended extending this regulation to other tobacco products as well as nicotine-containing products, such as e-cigarettes and oral nicotine pouches.
The CNPT proposed a ban on the sale of disposable e-cigarettes containing nicotine and non-nicotine in the draft Royal Ordinance submitted to the health department.
The CNPT is also concerned about the rapid increase in new tobacco products in recent years. They are worried that the tobacco industry is trying to attract a younger audience by making false promises about the health and safety of these devices. As a result, they are calling on the Ministry of Health to improve existing regulations and categorize these products. They are also demanding further restrictions on the sale and supply of these products to individuals under the age of 18, including implementing packaging labels indicating the ban, requiring retailers to display warning signs, and conducting age verification for purchasers.
The National Committee on Tobacco Control Appeals to the Ministry of Health to promptly collaborate with other emergency measures to implement these reforms, such as increasing tobacco prices, expanding smoke-free areas, conducting promotional activities, and providing more assistance for smoking cessation.
