The parliamentary health committee was left shocked this week when the lower house of parliament (Sejm) voted in favour of a much more liberal amendment to a bill banning smoking in public places.

It now means that owners of pubs and restaurants will be able to decide for themselves if they wish to ban smoking on premises or not.

“It’s necessary to preserve common sense and also give a chance to non-smokers who don’t want to be exposed to passive smoking,” said Grzegorz Dolniak, deputy head of Civic Platform in the Sejm.

Anything else would be totalitarian. Let non-smokers patronise their own bars and we smokers will patronise ours.
