No Smoking

No haven't gone bust, just saved themselves lots of money because they don't require cleaners anymore.

I read on the first page that Spain 'was going to go bankrupt and all the bars slide into non-existence' if the smoking ban was enforced. We are on page 7 now and I can't judge for myself as I haven't been to Spain for a while.
Have all the bars gone bust as a result of the smoking laws?

Well i've minutely scanned the first page but can find no mention of'was going to go bankrupt and all the bars slide into non-existence'
I sometimes think that's the trouble with these forums: People see what they want to see or make it up as they go along!

True because no-one goes in them anymore. Sigh even the cleaners are losing their jobs.

As a smoker, I agree that we should deter the younger generation from picking up the habit of smoking. When i was young it was made out to be glamerous, as the actors on the big screen as well as TV were smoking. Alas I do still smoke as the last time I stopped I went into hospital with pnuemonia and later treated for pluerisy (sorry about spelling as i am losing touch with English having lived out here for a decade). However, i also agree, from what visitors have told me, that pubs and clubs are closing down all over the place. I do not think that it will affect Spain greatly as the facility is in place to smoke outside with Toldos springing up everywhere. It is the poor restaurant and taverna without a terrace that will be affected.
