Well today's the day! We've got the posters up and leaflets on every table. And for anyone who thinks it won't be enforced, there was a team out at one this morning checking on establishments!!!

We would just like to say a big thankyou to everyone of our customers for adhering to the National Smoking Ban. It was our Sunday Fun Quiz and as ususal we were busy, Everyone both Turkish and English were in good humour about it and smoked outside. I know that it is early days and helped by the hot weather, but maybe the implementation of the ban will not be so bad afterall

That's good news Ian.

Me and hubby are non-smokers, and wondered how on earth a ban on smoking would ever work in the UK, where pubs and bars were soooooo smokey every time we went out. We are amazed to see that it has worked so well, tho I'm sure others will tell me differently!

But from our point of view, it has been great. We have friends who smoke, so we sometimes sit in the "smoking area" outside the pub,often in a covered area with patio heaters. It gives everyone the choice, rather than non-smokers having to sit in a smokey, confined space.

I really hope it works in Turkey. I'm sure the brits will be ok with it as they are used to the new(ish) laws in the UK - just wonder how the Turks will find it .................. $:-\$

Sorry Alex - as a non smoker, there's nothing worse than people smoking in restaurants, when you're eating.

At least in Turkey, there are plenty of outside places to smoke, as the weather is so much better than in the UK.
