Reacción a "Reactions: the Interterritorial Council gives the green light to the Comprehensive Smoking Plan"

The Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians, SEMERGEN, welcomes the approval of the Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Control of Smoking, in the understanding that it will help, from a health, educational and regulatory point of view, to prevent tobacco consumption and, equally, will facilitate smoking cessation among smokers. We believe that this recently approved plan is also a success for scientific societies such as SEMERGEN, which for decades have been requesting and demanding regulatory and legislative actions to protect the health of citizens.

However, we regret that there has not been unanimous agreement in all the autonomous communities for all the lines addressed in the plan, and we therefore fear that its application could generate inequalities in the population as a whole.
