  2. As a non-smoker, I can now potentially enjoy my paella without the side order of second-hand smoke. Progress!

  3. Spain’s extension of the smoking ban to outdoor terraces and public spaces includes electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco devices, supported by scientific evidence and public opinion. This aligns with broader European trends to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor areas.

  4. Finally, enjoying tapas without smelling like an ashtray afterwards

  5. As a non-smoker, I say it’s about time. Everyone deserves a lung-full of fresh air, not secondhand smoke

  6. I get it, but I dunno. They just raised the retirement age to 70 from 2040. But the lifelong pension for politicians will stand until 2090.

    I get a feeling this is about juicing us for what we’re worth. Not so much us as humans or citizens of EU.

    Make it illegal by all means, even as a occasional smoker i don’t really care. But do it for the right reasons, and make it make sense.

  7. As a non-smoker, I’m breathing a sigh of fresh air

  8. As a smoker I completely agree. It’s weird that they haven’t done it so far to be honest. Like cmon, terraces maybe but bars?

  11. Very good. Insane how one smoker can terrorize everything around him in 100m

  12. How long is going to take until Europeans stop smoking? It’s so bad to walk or sit anywhere over there. 😭

  13. OMG YEEEEESSS!! Please! I wish it was like that here in Germany. I don’t care if people smoke in and of itself but why do they have to do it where other people, including kids, sit? Go away, satisfy your addiction and then you can rejoin society lol.

  14. as long as I can drive straight to the terrace it’s all good

  16. Another ban that will be ignored by locals and tourists alike. Spain does not enforce any of this.

    Been going to Tenerife and everyone smokes on the beach and dogs everywhere without leads inc beaches. This applies to both tourists and locals alike. This has never been enforced.
