    I’m from the UK where it’s at least banned indoors.

    Visiting European pubs/bars where people still smoke is nuts and my clothes always stink after

      The same ban exists in France and most other EU countries. And the fines/administrative closures are quite stringent.

      Yeah, went to Spain, and woke up with a sore throat and really smelly clothes. Took me back to before the ban and realised how good that was for everyone

        I don’t know where you went, but since 2011 it’s been illegal to smoke indoors in Spain. It’s still legal to smoke on outdoor seating in bars/restaurants, but fortunately that’s going to be made illegal as well.

          It was illegal but not enforced at all or followed by the locals, so not followed by anybody else either. During the day was fine but in the evening and night it was like there was no law

            Let me guess, Mallorca? I’m guessing the tourist places are more lax in that aspect, because there is no way you can smoke inside where I live, the pubs can get a very big fine if you do.
