Reacción a "Reactions to Catalonia's proposal to ban smoking on bar terraces"

This has been a demand of public health scientific societies for years. Several studies show that, in environments such as terraces, bus stops or around school entrances, there is greater exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, so the regulation of these spaces could be positive to protect the population from this smoke.

Although we will have to wait to see the specific regulations, these smoke-free spaces should include: terraces (many terraces are already in breach of current legislation with semi-closed spaces), public transport stops, around schools and university campuses. It is also important to work towards compliance with current smoke-free legislation.
