Protect Children, End Tobacco Exploitation in Spain

The tobacco industry is relentlessly targeting children in Spain, using widespread advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of tobacco products through all types of media.

But the truth is far darker: tobacco kills millions, and these tactics violate children’s human rights.

We Are Taking Action.

64 organizations are jointly reporting these violations to the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the 100th Session in January 2026.
