The anti-smoking law benefits families in the Duquesa Area.

Filed under: News — Barrington Homes @ 11:06 am

The smoking ban that has recently taken place in Duquesa and the whole of Spain is one of the strictest in Europe. Smoking has been banned in all bars and restaurants in Duquesa, Sabinillas, Manilva and Casares Costa areas and smoking will also be prohibited on television broadcasts, near hospitals or in school playgrounds.

The law tightens anti-smoking restrictions that were introduced in 2006 and came into effect on the 1st January 2011. The anti-smoking rules introduced in 2006 outlawed smoking in the workplace, but let bar and restaurant owners choose whether or not to allow it. Most chose not to impose any ban and only large restaurants and bars were obliged to provide a smoke-free area.

Duquesa, Sabinillas and Spain in general have a strong cafe culture this is one of the joys of being in Spain either as a visitor or resident and I believe that this is a huge step forward for the Duquesa area. The whole of the Manilva and Duquesa area is now far more family friendly and holiday makers, visitors and residents of Duquesa can rest assured that they and their children are in a smoke free environment when they take them out to eat and socialise.
