Spain holidays could look a little different for Brits as the country is set to introduce a strict new ban on smoking in a host of public spaces including beaches and bar terraces

Brits planning Spain holidays should take note of some strict new rules being proposed by the country's authorities.

The Spanish government has approved new legislation which includes a ban on smoking and vaping in a wide range of outdoor spaces, including beaches and bar terraces.

There has already been a country-wide ban on smoking and vaping indoors, while a number of holiday hotspots already have fines in place for people who smoke on its beaches. Although e-cigarettes are legal to use and purchase across Spain, many beaches enforce strict no-vaping rules under local public health policies.
