Should smoking in football stadiums and cars be not allowed

 72.9% of  people who believe that smoke-free spaces need to be extended is in favour of smoke-free cars being banned from private cars where they travel minors, and 64.6% when they travel only adults, according to the data from the Health Barometer 2018, carried out by the Ministry of Health, Consumer and Social Welfare in collaboration with the Sociological Research Centre (CIS).

The report devotes a subparagraph to tobacco issues, on legislation to apply to novel electronic cigarettes or their health risks. In relation to these devices and tobacco without combustion, 85.9% of those interviewed have heard of the first and 18.9% of the second.

Of those who know either of these two forms of smoking, 62.2% believes that their consumption in public places should be regulated equally as has been done with traditional tobacco. For its part, 56.7% believe that electronic cigarettes pose a risk to their health, although 32.2% still is not clear. 11% directly denies it.

On tobacco without combustion, the figures are similar: 63.2% is aware of the damage to their health, 24.5% is manifest not knowing how to answer, and 12.2% rejects that they are a product that poses a risk.

In line with these figures, and more related to the use of traditional tobacco, 41.3% of Spanish people believe that the number of smoke-free sites should be expanded. 46.3% is against and 12.3% is not taking sides by either of the two previous options.

Among the places cited by those who say that the list of places where smoking is prohibited should be extended, the particular car is when travelling minors (72.9%) or even when other persons travel, regardless of age, other than smoker (64.6%). Football stadiums and other outdoor sports spaces (61.4%).

These are the only three circumstances in which Spanish are in favour of limiting tobacco consumption, for terraces, parks, places, beaches, streets, pools, pools or forests are only options feasible for around 2% of Spanish in favour of more smoke-free zones. It appears that 3.3% of this collective is in favour of restricting smoking "everywhere".
