UP IN SMOKE

Several bars and restaurants in the Valencian Community have formed a united front against the new no-smoking laws that came into force last week.

And following the example set by a restaurant in Marbella, establishments in Valencia, Burriana and Paterna have joined the platform against the new law. Now Rodrigo Arroyo of the Rodrigo Restaurant in Valencia, El Meson in Paterna and an as yet unidentified bar in Burriana are all seeking to get five hundred thousand signatures on petitions that will enable the new anti smoking laws to be debated in the Valencian Parliament
