My Husband and I live in Austria, and just spent an extended (4-day) weekend in Northern Italy. In Austria, they just recently added the ruling that restaurants need to have a NO Smoking section. But most of the time this isn't very effective as the smoke travels, and in Austria no one pays much attention (yet) to this new ruling. In Italy, the law exists that there is NO smoking in ANY building, anywhere. Fines are also very hefty for those who do not heed. It was great! Meals were much more enjoyable & I never had to flee from a smoke-filled room!
