Spain: heated tobacco regulation, February 2024

Heated tobacco products are defined in Spain as novel tobacco products that are heated in order to produce an emission that contains nicotine and other chemical substances which are inhaled and that depending on their characteristics may be considered a non-combustible tobacco product or a smoking tobacco product.

In the next few years, the framework for heated tobacco will shift closer towards cigarettes. This is because the ruling parties, which recently secured their second term in office, hold a negative view of novel tobacco products.

This report provides a detailed analysis of the regulatory framework in place in Spain for heated tobacco products, covering all policy areas from advertising and taxation to notification and labelling requirements.
