In Spain, approximately eight million people smoke daily. A significant portion of them attempted to quit in the last year. Some individuals used scientifically-backed medications to aid in their efforts.

These medications have been shown to improve outcomes, although their effectiveness is limited. It is known that nearly half a million people in Spain tried to quit smoking with the help of funded pharmaceuticals last year. Further information on this topic can be found through El País, which reported on the issue of smoking and quitting in Spain.
