Day 17 is the deadline for amendments to the bill to toughen the law provides for banning smoking. Predictably, several groups include public funding of anti-smoking treatments. The National Committee for Smoking Prevention (NPTC) reports that only Navarra and La Rioja (and Ceuta) already cover these therapies. Seven other communities (Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, Asturias, Cantabria) and Melilla do so only for certain population groups. Interestingly, Galicia did until 2009 for “collective model” (health personnel), but stopped.

The request for the inclusion and was championed by the PP in 2005, with the former law. With these data it appears that it would be very difficult to accept an amendment to that effect (but then stay the thorny issue of who finances the treatments).

Another thing is its effectiveness. “There may be an increase in cessation attempts from 5% to 25% depending on the extent of funding. The strength of the evidence is moderate. The magnitude of effect is very variable. The impact on the prevalence is 0.15 -0.5% depending on the coverage. There is little evidence of long-term effect and the few long-term studies found a low effect size. The social groups who benefit most are heavy smokers and the poor, particularly women”, indicated in an article Rodrigo Córdoba, CNPT spokesman.

In contrast, scientific organization believes there are other aspects that can be included in future legislation to provide, especially, that young people from starting the habit, and that non-smokers are better protected. These include that you can not sell more than snuff tobacco shops, and ban smoking near hospitals and playgrounds (eg, on the sidewalks of access to health centers).

The Government has set out to give a new impetus to the main topic of conversation in the early days of 2011: the reform of the smoking ban. And one of the measures to improve the measure is to finance treatment for people who want to quit smoking. The Minister of Health, Social Policy and Equality, Leire Pajin, announced that it was “in favor of studying this possibility”, although this scenario would have to negotiate payment with the autonomous communities. The powers are transferred.

The Minister of Health explained that the current legislation should be accompanied “with awareness, support and coverage” to smokers who want to quit this habit. In addition, said in an interview on Onda Cero is a “possible future” in which his department is working. Moreover, Pajín assessed positively the entry of the new law, which “has no gaps, so the cracks will not autonomic regulations.

He stressed the “normal” that the public has accepted the prohibition on smoking in enclosed and played a important to some establishments, such as Marbella, BBQ or two bars in Valencia, which have been declared in default. “In the beginning there is always some incident or complaint. I think we should stick with reality and this is being met with complete normality “, said the minister, who stressed that Spain is at the height of the” neighbors.

He explained that government studies showed that the reform would not affect the hospitality industry, although understood Pajín complaints and “uncertainties” of the owners of bars and restaurants. “We have decades to smoke and can not change from night to morning. But today you can not smoke in public transport and no travel is no longer that, “thought the minister, who had an impact on this measure has the support of the” 70% of the population.
