The latest I have read is that the government has relaxed the proposals ie they were going to fine bar owners etc if people were caught smoking,but that has been scrapped.
I really cant see it happening for a good while yet,the Portuguese love to smoke.
I understand that many places in Spain are still allowing smoking,we were there a few weeks ago and only went to one restaurant where you couldnt smoke.
As with all things Portuguese,nothing has been defined yet!
