Friday, January 06, 2006 - Smoking Laws in action

The last few days in and around Arroyo's smaller bars (including the spanish operated) has been quite amusing. Some decided to be non smoking and allow children and others elected to come down on the side of the smokers and forgo children and food. Then rumour began to run rife and now virtually all of them have reverted to pre Jan 1st 2006 and are allowing smoking, serving food and permitting children. It seems that the new law actually says that bars of under 100 sq m can be smoking bars and as long as children under 18 are accompanied by their parents they are allowed inside. Although they must post a large (at least A3) black bordered sign on the door stating their position in spanish (at least spanish) We will see what changes over the next few days or weeks
