The smoking ban is really starting to kick in, we were in a small restaurant in Girne last week and a T/C customer went over to a group of four men who were smoking and told them it was against the law and the men promptly pu out their ciggies

There has been much speculation concerning the Smoking Laws passed last year, particularly those laws applying to restaurants, bars etc. There has also been talk of some bars being penalized for allowing smoking. I have obtained the statute 44/2008 on the Control and Protection from Tobacco Products and, whilst I make NO guarantee as to the following, can make these observations with regard to restaurants, bars etc:



The Law relates to internal areas only(PART 4, Cl.9.1).



The Law restricting smoking in restaurants, bars etc does not come into effect until 1st January 2010 (PART8, Cl. 3 & 4).



That said any establishment may ban smoking now if it wishes to. But it is currently not against the law to allow smoking in restaurants, bars etc.

Msg. 5

That is true Gordon, the Smoking Ban in restaurants will come into effect as from 1st January 2010 and they will not be allowed to have specially allocated areas for smokers. Having said that, why on earth they delayed it??

Maybe the answer is for all us smokers on the forum to get together and find a place who will leave us in peace and the non smokers will of course be happy, Each to our Own

GGrouse,



Quote Part 8 Clauses 3 & 4 of law 44/2008 at them. It's in the very final provisions of the statute and they possibly didn't get that far when perusing it - scintillating stuff as it is.



Also, if you pop by the Celebrity or the Lambousa Market I can give you a copy with the important parts highlighted.
