A public health expert has expressed concerns about tobacco control in Spain. Armando Peruga, an epidemiologist, believes that the country's approach to tobacco is inadequate. He notes that the Ministry of Sanidad does not control prices, which is a significant problem.

The issue of tobacco pricing is further complicated by the role of the Hacienda. According to Peruga, this leads to ineffective control over the tobacco market. Further details on Peruga's views and the tobacco control situation in Spain are available from the source, El País.
