Answer

How should Mallorca use extra money from cigarette taxes?

A practical approach would be to direct part of the extra revenue into local prevention, counselling and quit-smoking support. In Mallorca, that could also mean more help during the tourist season, when tobacco use and sales are highest. Without clear earmarking, it is harder to see whether the tax rise is improving health or simply filling the general budget.
