The government are making a big show of enforcing the ban. They've employed inspectors to check pubs and are giving out €3,000 fines to any place where the law is repeatedly broken. I don't know if it's going to hold up but I hope it does.
Most of my mates who smoke are in favour of the ban, at least they were until we were sitting in the bar today. It took five minutes before they cracked and went outside for a smoke.

Must've been nice when you got home and your clothes and hair didn't stink of smoke though ?
