Sra. Elena Salgado, the Spanish Health Minister and Non-Smoker, has decreed that as from June this year no smoking will be allowed in Restaurants and Bars anywhere in Spain. She has dismissed all estimates from tourism and business representatives of the numbers of establishments that will inevitably close down putting countless thousands out of work, and yet has given no estimate of her own of the livelihoods that her draconian law will destroy.
I would have thought that what we have at the moment, whereby everyone has the choice either to go to an establishment where you can smoke or one where you can’t, is the ideal situation but you know what politicians are – they know what’s best for everyone – don’t they?
I honestly can’t see the Spanish population taking it lying down, particularly at this time of high unemployment – can you?
