Regulatory report: Spain – heated tobacco and oral tobacco products, October 2021

Heated tobacco consumables are not specifically regulated in Spain but are considered novel smokeless tobacco products, while devices fall under general product safety laws.

Whether the Spanish legal framework of new tobacco products will change over the next year will largely depend on the draft that the government is preparing which amends the Tobacco Act. Limited details are known about the proposal, but we expect it to specifically address heated tobacco products and other related products such as nicotine pouches.
