Well I just received the best news since I've arrived: Spain is FINALLYYYYY banning smoking in bars, cafes, and restaurants, among many other public places (effective January 2, 2011). Apparently, smoking is the #1 killer of people here in Spain, so the government has finally made their threat law. No longer will I have to worry about people accidentally burning me with their cigarettes (which has happened to me before!) or come home having my hair and clothes smell like an ashtray!! I usually love countries for their differences and embrace them, but smoking is one thing I can never get used to.
This news just made my day! =)
Oh my gosh, I too was so, so happy to hear this. Hooray!
ReplyDeletethey were supposed to do this two years ago, so we'll see if it actually goes through!
