The period before to enactment of Law 28/2005 (with partial bans) induced an
unprecedented public debate in Spain that led to the crystallization of a strong feeling for the protection against SHS.

Attitude towards smoke-free regulations (all in favor) Spain, 2005 & 2008
Unfortunately, despite the overall political consensus achieved, negative elements had soon appeared that severely mortgaged the process:
complexity/ambiguity of the legislative text which hindered its implementation by the authorities, especially regarding to the mixed model in the hospitality sector
poor coordination between public administrations with a territorial patchwork of enforcement “à la carte” and even regional decrees that reduced the standards of the law
progressive deterioration of the situation with a growing
distance between reality (very heterogeneous depending the territories) and the social norm that demanded a good model.

Initiatives led from professionals, scientists and social agents and the evidence of the inadequacy of the 2005 model, prompted the Ministry of Health to promote in 2010 a legislative change that would allow getting smoke free environments.
Despite the reluctance - that still exists - in some sectors, it was possible to generalize the total ban on bars and restaurants and finalizing a model perversely exported.

The process has been possible mainly due to:
• a legal text (Law 42/2010) clear, with little margin for biased interpretations
• the flexible leadership from Public Health Directorate (Ministry of Health), with strong support from the more active Autonomous Communities
• the positive interaction with CNPT, scientists, social groups, trade unions …
• the addition of other key measures (public information and structured aid to smokers, in many territories).
The process has been possible mainly due to:
