Spain Moves to Ban Smoking and Vaping on Bar Terraces, Beaches, Stadiums, and Bus Stops

The proposal—framed as a public-health measure—faces a fragmented parliament and hospitality-sector pushback. Unlike France’s July restrictions, Spain’s plan includes both terraces and e-cigarettes. The bill excludes plain packaging; Spain records over 50,000 smoking-related deaths annually.
