How's the smoking ban doing? Where can you smoke? Where not? What could you be fined?

SPAIN (Source: El Pais.com) The majority of smokers are abiding by the new anti-tobacco law, which came into force on Sunday. Spaniards were "reasonably" compliant with the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces, according to Dionisio Lara, of the Spanish Service Industry Federation, who reported that drinkers had shifted to outdoor tables en masse. Regulations forbidding smoking within 100 meters of health centers were less rigorously observed and smokers could be seen puffing away at the entrance to various Madrid hospitals.(See the full article on CampoPulse, with all the information on where you can and cannot smoke, what the fines are, etc.)>
