An Inca lawyer, Gabriel Mayol, has filed a motion to set aside the Balearic government's ban on smoking on bar/restaurant terraces. He says in his motion: "If you can smoke on the street while maintaining a distance of two metres, there is no reason why this cannot be done on a terrace, as is the case in other regions."

Actually there is plenty of scientific evidence to support a smoking ban on terraces Tobacco smoke is a carcinogen and strongly linked to cardiovascular problems. Customers as well as workers should be protected from second hand tobacco smoke both indoors and outdoors.
He has a Valid point of view but really in his best interest he should seize the opportunity to give up smoking ! Really .
