During the last 5 years cigarette sales in Spain have fallen by 47% .A National Health Survey discovered that 24% of the Spanish population over the age of 15 admitted that they smoked every day , compared with 30% in 2000 .Some of this reduction must be put down to the education of people about the risks involved when you smoke . Many people believe that it is the increased tax on cigarettes that has had an even greater effect . Another survey has found out that almost 9% of the cigarettes smoked in Spain are contraband ( no taxes paid to the government ) and then there are those brought into Spain legally ( no taxes paid to the government ) and the two add up to 11% of all cigarettes smoked in Spain .This means that the tax man loses 718 million euros a year . Low cost brands account for another 11% and the sales of these brands are increasing .Some of these like Fortuna and Brooklyn are made in Spain in Logro単o at the last cigarette factory on the Spanish mainland .There is a factory making cigars in Cantabria . The Logro単o factory employs 560 staff compared to 650 in the past and there are fears for its future .The factory is profitable and productive but the market is shrinking and Europe could soon need fewer factories .
