Well it is happening. It has just been passed by legislation, so come 2nd January that is it except for terraces, prisons, old people´s homes and psychiatric units.
Virtually identical laws were brought into force in France quite a while back. However they are not properly enforced and are openly flouted. Bar owners turn a blind eye, rather than upset their customers and little or nothing is done about it. I forecast a similar response and reaction in many parts of Spain. |

I was coming to that. I was going to wait until jojo had explained the significance of lung cancer not being the most common cancer.
It depends on what you read - I've just googled it and there are all manner of sites declaring which is the most common cancer - in men, in women, in children, in china, in the UK............. Actually, most sites say in men its prostate and in women its breast, however, there are some that say Skin cancer is the highest! ....oh and yes there are a couple of sites that say lung cancer is one of the highest! However, as my search thru google proves you can make anything say anything you want it to, it depends who writes it and who you chose to read!!! What I would like to see is the real causes of cancer found - and dealt with. As I've already pointed out, and as we all know. Even if they could magically remove cigarettes from the equation, the incidence of cancer would still be growing - and at an alarming rate! There is also the inherited cancers, all but one of my dads siblings died from bowel cancer, including him, and coincidentally so did my mum (neither smoked). I guess whether I smoke or not I'm a pretty high risk! Shall we get lives now, its a depressing subject and it was only two months ago a very close friend of mine died a long and painful death from cancer (she gave up smoking 15 years ago) Jo xxx |

Yes, most bars and restaurants in France still have ashtrays on the tables. I thought the last smoking laws in Spain were going to be fairly comprehensive but after a few weeks everything seemed the same as ever.
A friend of mine lives in France and she says, in her local bar they've totally obliterated the "no smoking" sign by stubbing out cigarettes on it!?? Jo xxx |
