Smoking Ban in Spain


Smoking in Spanish bars is to be banned as from 2nd January next year. This has now been made law after a loophole allowed bars to choose whether they wanted to be a 'smoking' or 'non smoking' bar. Most decided to allow smoking, but some in this area which took the no smoking choice saw their takings fall as people went to the bars where they were allowed to smoke, I know of a few places which then started  to allow people to smoke. So what will happen in January? Hopefully the bars wont see their takings fall any more than they have around here owing to the exchange rate etc. I should think it wont be as drastic here as back in the UK owing to the fact that people in Spain do spend more time sat outside the bars than they do inside....weather permitting of course!
