New no smoking law will hit profits
Owners of bars and restaurants estimate that around 1,600 million euros will be lost when the new no smoking laws that are presently going through parliament come into force. Dionisio Lara, president of Businessmen for Quality Leisure Time, added that it will be very difficult for society to isolate the 11 million smokers adding that it was unfair of the law to require the owners of the premises to act as policemen. He explained that the 10,000 euros fine to the owner of the bar or restaurant if anyone is found smoking on the premises will oblige them to enforce the law with a rod of iron, meaning that they will very probably lose customers or pay the consequences at a very high price.
