Smoking
| 
Since the start of 2007, smoking has been banned in pretty much all venues. That includes cafés, bars, restaurants, clubs and any establishment that serves anything alleged to be food. There are exceptions for ‘specially equipped’ cigar and pipe clubs, none of which actually exist yet (at the end of September, 2007).
Many venues have set up ashtrays by their doors, so if you want to have a puff, or get some not-so-fresh air, all you have to do is step outside. The unfortunate downside of this is that non-smokers will have to hold their breath as they enter and leave some places.
Most popular international cigarettes are readily available, and cigars, pipes, rolling tobacco and cigarette papers are also reasonably well-represented. Cigarettes can be purchased at kiosks and supermarkets as well as most bars and restaurants, and are very cheap by western standards.
