The reform of the law against snuff, which will ban smoking in all Spanish restaurants and entertainment venues, and will enter into force during 2010, will also end with a very Spanish tradition, that of smoking a cigar or a cigarette after dinner weddings and banquets are held in close quarters.
This was stated a spokesman for the Ministry of Health to ABC.es confirming what the Minister of Health of the Catalan, Marina Geli, ahead today Speaking to radio station RAC1 collected by Efe. If the law reform goes ahead as health plans, “with the greatest possible consensus,” only smokers can enjoy their habit in your home or in outdoor which includes terraces, arenas or soccer fields. From Health insist that the tightening is “a public health measure to protect non-smokers” and aims to “simplify a rule had its fringes”.
On when the reform will enter into force, say that is still talking to the parliamentary groups to achieve “the widest possible consensus.” Next, you must go through Parliament for approval, meaning that its implementation is not immediate. It will probably be along the first half of 2010, coinciding with the Spanish EU presidency, when given the final impetus.
For its part, the Minister of Health has Catalan key to avoid that customers spend when they have to go cold to smoke outdoors, “There is a whole industry of these tents and stoves for these outdoor spaces.”
