The following are some of the main points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No smoking in enclosed public spaces<\/li>\n<li>No smoking in playgrounds and grounds of schools and hospitals<\/li>\n<li>No smoking in Bars, Cafes and Restaurants (this is the biggie!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what does this mean for Sunset Beach Club?<\/p>\n<p>As from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> January 2011, Sunset Beach Club will become a Smoke Free Zone. Smoking in all interior areas of the hotel, including indoor public areas and the apartments will be strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking will only be permitted in the following areas of the hotel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1<sup>st<\/sup> floor: In the      swimming pool area; on the terrace next to the restaurant; at the pool      bar; in the archery area; and where there are sunbeds (except for the area      near the children\u2019s playground).<\/li>\n<li>6<sup>th<\/sup> Floor: On the      balcony next to the Panorama Bar and in the passageway at the hotel      entrance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be interesting to see how the new anti-smoking law is enforced by the government; Spain has always been known as one of Europe\u2019s most permissive countries in terms of smoking in public places. It\u2019s going to be hard for many to get out of the habit of \u201clighting up\u201d in a bar and only strict enforcement of the law will ensure its success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transitionsrecovery.com\">Navigate here<\/a> to get information about rehabilitation and treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet As from the 2nd January 2011, Spain will enforce a new tough anti-smoking law, joining some of Europe\u2019s strictest anti-smoking nations by prohibiting smoking in enclosed places.
