India, Sept. 14 -- Spain's minority leftist government introduced a bill on September 9, 2025, that proposes to ban smoking and vaping at outdoor venues such as beaches, bar and restaurant terraces, bus stops, and stadiums. Officials say the move responds to the growing popularity of tobacco and e-cigarettes among young people.

"We'll always put public health ahead of private interests," said Health Minister Monica Garcia. "Everyone has a right to breathe clean air ... and live longer and better lives," she added.
