Smoking prohibited in public places, getting closer

tabaco-02_1No tenéis idea de lo que me alegré cuando leí la noticia, una noticia que pensaba que no llegaría nunca y para la que seguro ha sido fundamental la presidencia de España de la Unión Europea. Resulta que ya hay fecha definitiva para que en España no se pueda fumar en lugares públicos, y no es otra que el 1 de Enero de 2010.

I think we are all going to benefit from this law, although we will have to see that the bar owners respect it and that justice has a tough hand with the establishments that do not do so. It is stupid to read that this measure will ruin bars and restaurants because people will go outside to smoke, but the point is to look for the faults in something that only has one, as they commented in the article I wrote about tobacco a long time ago: this measure is a sovereign bitch for those who had to adapt their premises to the previous law, which They will have spent the money foolishly.

I’m happy, but we have to be cautious, because I still don’t know who will be held responsible if a customer smokes. Will the establishment be sanctioned, forcing it to warn consumers that smoking is not allowed? Or will the client be held responsible? The first option seems more feasible to me, because the second would require a ā€œGestapoā€ to inform the authorities that someone is committing a crime (although given the government we have, it would not be too far-fetched).

Congratulations to the non-smokers, the shop assistants/waiters of the establishments and the smokers. Your health is about to improve and your rooms will smell better after going out to the bars.
