Spain, the tobacco shop of Europe, to end the tobacco business
people signed. Let's get to 5,000!
Addressed to: Government of Spain and 6 more
One in every 2 smokers will die prematurely due to conditions derived from tobacco consumption, according to a recent study by the Spanish Heart Society.
And is that every ten minutes a Spaniard dies for causes arising from their consumption, and there are more than 50000 deaths that are charged each year in our country. Among them my dear sister.
Unfortunately, it seems that this is still profitable for the state, which has entered last year in 2018, approximately 9,000 million euros because of its sale, estimated at some 8,000 million health related spending to address problems arising from their consumption. This taking into account that 80% of the price of a pack of tobacco are taxes that go to the public coffers
Money should not prevail when the lives of so many families are being destroyed day by day, and less for such a bare benefit. Therefore, we are going to fight because the measures are not relaxed in the face of this not so silent threat. We ask that you become aware, that your advertising be prohibited outright in any way, adopting generic packaging, that claims be forbidden for young people like flavored tobacco, and that its price be made even more expensive to discourage adolescents from accessing it (Spain is one of the European countries where tobacco is cheaper, called the TOBACCO STORE OF EUROPE), that professionals are trained in smoking and to develop a free aid plan in each Autonomous Community for those who want to eliminate their lives this poison.
