Unless someone in Ankara has changed the date without telling anyone, today is the day that the second part of the non -smoking law comes into effect.( what law you ask ?? )
From today, it is illegal to smoke in Restaurants, Bars, Lokantas and Tea Houses
Will it be enforced ??, I don't know, the first part of the law is being mainly ignored in Istanbul.
The Law states that smoking is illegal under any structure that is covered, and not specifically what structures.
So under this ambiguous Law, taking it to the n'th degree, you could be prosecuted for smoking in an open sided covered bus stop,your house,your patio if covered, and wait for it,
a sun parasol round your pool or on the beach, you have been warned. ;D ;D ;D
This interpretation of the law has nothing to do with me, it was published some time ago by a University Professor in Istanbul
