Tobacco addiction and control in Spain.
In Spain there is a high prevalence of smokers: 39.2% in the general population, 61.9% of the working population, and 35% of doctors. At the same time, health education on smoking is inadequate, and tobacco is cheap. As a result, it is difficult to implement legislation which bans or restricts smoking in some areas. It is clear that more education on smoking and health is needed at every level of the Spanish population.
