Tito Drago
MADRID, Dec 21 2005 (IPS) – Spain has joined in a growing worldwide trend by adopting strict new legislation that will ban smoking in the workplace and other enclosed public spaces as of Jan. 1, while requiring bars and restaurants to offer non-smoking sections.
A survey carried out by the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), a government agency, shortly after the Dec. 15 passage of the new law showed that 25.8 percent of respondents identified themselves as smokers, while another 26.7 percent said they had been regular smokers at some time in the past. Other studies have estimated the proportion of smokers in Spain at just over 30 percent of the population.
Nevertheless, 77.2 percent of the people interviewed in the CIS survey said they approved of the ban on smoking in the workplace, while approval jumped to 94.1 percent for the prohibition on smoking in hospitals, schools, government offices and enclosed sports and cultural venues.
