Spain Cigars and Cigarillos Market Overview, 2028

Tobacco and nicotine use is the leading preventable cause of death in Spain, causing the loss of more than 60,000 lives per year as well as a huge human, family and economic impact. For the tobacco pandemic there is no vaccine, but it is preventable through the action of citizens, due to their government and non-governmental representatives. At the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, in which national health system is increasingly overwhelmed – by an ageing population and by the presence of relatively unexpected viral epidemics – treating diseases arising from tobacco and nicotine use is a burden largely avoidable. Reducing the prevalence of smoking to a residual percentage over the next decade – in addition to significantly improving population health can result in relief in the workload of Spain healthcare system and a reduction in cost overruns caused by people who smoke compared to those who do not. Additionally, Spain has signed and ratified the first global public health treaty, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). For this reason, it acts courageously and decisively to fulfill its objective: “to protect present and future generations from the devastating health, social, environmental and economic consequences of tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke”. Nofumadores.org continues to engage and work with Spanish law-makers to advance the agenda of a tobacco- and nicotine-free future using the Endgame Declaration for Spain 2030 as its main roadmap.

One of the reasons why users choose certain products is because they believe that they are less harmful to their health, even when there is no evidence of that.

Social media contain content generated by consumers themselves which influence public opinion and perception, and this carries a risk of smoking cigars in public becoming normalized once again. Most of the respondents expressed their concern at the influence of the marketing and designs that HTP use to attract young people. This has led to the more consumption and hence also increasing the growth of market.
