Does Germany have a smoking ban in public places? |
Travel Info Or are they planning on getting a smoking ban in public places. I want to go to Germany on holiday but I have trouble breathing in a smokey enviroment because of my heart problems. Any idea about the smoking ban plans or rules in Germany? Travel Tips Actually, a law officially banning smoking in bars, restaurants, cafes and the like was passed just a few weeks ago, so you're in luck. :) People smoking in one of those places can now be fined quite heftily (not sure about the exact amount). Smoking is also banned in public buildings such as banks, post offices, etc. No one can stop people from smoking out on the street, though (at least not yet), but outside, it's not too bad anyway. Source(s): I live in Germany (and watch the news). Other Travel Tips Hitler tried to bring it in, he was a real softy when it came to animals, veggies and health nuts, much like our current regime. I was born & raised in Germany & I dont think it's any worse then the U.S. they dont have a smoking ban everywhere...but they are not as bad of smokers as the French! No I have just been. As I live in Scotland where there already is a smoking ban I found it really weird. They SMoke everywhere, and I didnt find any no smoking sections. Really nice place to go to though - I went to Berlin, it was great. Well I'll tell, I HAVE been to Germany. They smoke a LOT down there. So they don't ban the smoking there in any places. My experience with any European country is that smoking is allowed anywhere. Maybe have things changed. I live in Vancouver B.C. Canada, and the Europeans hate the smoking bans in the bars and restaurant's here. |
