<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>In the European Union (EU), one in five youth currently smoke, with over half establishing regular smoking by age 18. Yet, evidence on the historical trends of smoking initiation remains scarce despite its importance for tobacco control. Using four waves of the Special Eurobarometer survey (2012–20; n = 110 753, aged ≥15), we retrospectively estimated trends in initiation rates (IRs) of regular cigarette smoking in the EU from 1940 to 2019 among individuals aged 10–24 by sex, region, and country for each calendar decade. EU-wide smoking IRs have decreased compared to the peak period, with narrowing disparities by sex and region. For males, the IRs have declined from 5.7% (95% CI = 5.6–5.9) in the 1970s to 3.2% (95% CI = 3.0–3.3) in the 2010s, and for females from 3.9% (95% CI = 3.7–4.0) in the 1990s to 2.4% (95% CI = 2.3–2.5) in the 2010s. The decline was more pronounced among young adults aged 18–24 than minors aged 10–17, with minors’ IRs surpassing those of young adults during the 2010s. Marked declines occurred among young adults in all regions, while among minors, a clear decrease was observed only for males in Northern Europe. Concerningly, the IRs among minors have trended upward in Eastern Europe for both sexes. Despite declining youth smoking initiation, an unacceptably high number of European youth still begin smoking regularly before the legal age of 18. Stricter and comprehensive tobacco control policies targeting youth, along with smoke-free generation initiatives, could substantially reduce future tobacco use and smoking-related mortality.</jats:p>

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Spain implemented an extensive outdoor smoking ban during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. We examined support for this restriction during and beyond the pandemic among people who currently and formerly smoked.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Cross-sectional study. The 2021 ITC EUREST-PLUS Spain Survey used a multistage sampling to obtain a representative sample of people who currently or formerly smoked (n=1006). We estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) to examine associations with ban support during and after the pandemic. Analyses accounted for the complex sampling design and were weighted to ensure representativeness.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Most people who currently (79.2%) and formerly smoked (94.6%) supported the outdoor smoking ban when a safe interpersonal distance could not be maintained during the pandemic. Support for a permanent ban remained substantial (61.4% and 87.2%, respectively). Those who currently smoke were more likely to support bans during and after the pandemic if they had smoke-free homes (PR=1.11; PR=1.29, respectively), understood secondhand smoke harms to health (PR=1.40; PR=1.65), had tried to quit (PR=1.14; PR=1.30) and self-reported as healthy (PR=1.40; PR=1.47). Those who formerly smoked were more likely to support bans during the pandemic if they had smoke-free homes (PR=1.08) and did not self-report as healthy (PR=0.95); and after the pandemic if they had quit smoking for ≥6 months (PR=1.23) and used alternative tobacco products (PR=1.17).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Most people who currently or formerly smoked in Spain supported the outdoor smoking ban during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This high acceptance suggests that the pandemic may have created an opportunity to strengthen tobacco control.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
