SOS - SMOKE FREE SPAIN. WORD INITIATIVE

The proposition of the construction of a EuroVegas in Spain has led some politicians of Madrid to ask for a rollback in the current smoke-free law to add some exceptions for the gaming industry. The current Tobacco Act prohibits smoking in all enclosed public spaces, and after a year and a half since its adoption, has widespread respect and support from the Spanish population.

The current Spanish smoke-free model has no exceptions, is defended by public health organizations and the people of Spain, and has triumphed over the old model of the 2005 Act that allowed smoking at the bar owner's discretion and was only supported by the tobacco industry and hospitality lobbyists.

The continuity of the new Spanish smoke-free model is not only vital to Spain but also to the entire Global Tobacco Control movement, since the use of this model has already been adopted by other countries.
