Poland bans smoking in most bars, restaurants
None
Poland has joined a growing list of nations to ban smoking in bars, restaurants and other public places, a move welcomed by health experts and non-smokers. Under a law which took effect on Monday, the ban allows establishments bigger than 100 square metres to set aside a designated room for smokers, but it must meet certain air conditioning standards.
More than half of Poles back the new ban while 15 percent are strongly opposed, according to a survey published in the Polish language edition of Newsweek magazine. Less than 30 percent of adult Poles smoke, the survey said. (Reuters)
