At Tuesday's cabinet meeting, there was approval of an end to Covid measures that are still in force. The health minister, José Miñones, said after the meeting that all regulations will be repealed "without nuance". This lifting of regulations is expected to be announced in the Official Bulletin of State either on Wednesday or Thursday. Once this is published, the regulations will cease.

The people who are complaining can stay inside or at home. They have multiple options. I'm looking forward to being perfectly legal when I light up. These past few months I felt like a criminal doing so. Lol
So many don't likes, seriously, bet they are all smokers. The 1 in 5 people. If numbers counted for anything smoking is a minority habit and should not be imposed on the majority, a bit like religion.
So workers in bars will have to suffer smoke again, this is a terrible step backwards. When people smoke on terraces, it drifts into the bar. I guess its at the bar owners discretion, if they want to keep their workers then they will maintain the ban.
The BOE has now been published so this is now in effect.
Marvin Le MartianSmoking was only banned on the terraces as a result of Covid. As Covid laws have now been repealed this was inevitable. The Government must now decide if they would like to bring forward legislation regarding this at some stage in the future and not hide behind Covid. Incidentally, smoking on the terraces has been allowed again throughout Spain for many months except in the Balearic Islands and Valencian Communities.
Allowing smoking back on outdoor terraces is a regressive step. So anyone could be lighting up next to you giving you their second hand fumes. Joy. The Govt should be doing all it can to improve population health and reducing mortality due to smoking related diseases.
