Hi everyone,
We love skiing in Pamporovo BUT the smoking there is so bad it's a health hazzard. So many people have this vile disgusting habit and it affects the whole of my family. Everywhere you go there is this horrendous smell - it's unbearable and extreemly unhealthy for my children. Smokers there have NO, I repeat NO respect for anyone who doen't smoke or their children. Having lunch on the slopes is a nightmare and many of the Hotels reak of it. We end up stinking like smokers ...

SO, anyone who has not been to Pamporovo BE AWARE of the affect it can have on your family's health. I don't care if people want to die smoking, that's up to them, but I strongly object to them harming my family.

Chill out and have a tab.
re: Pamporovo, smoking and children
I know exactly how you feel, Kate. It irritates me too, in Borovets.It used to be the same in all ski resorts, before the various smoking bans came in. We are spoiled in the UK with our "clean" air. Hopefully Bulgaria might follow suit in the future.re: Pamporovo, smoking and children
It is unpleasant and I can understand people with kids being concerned but its the way things are in Bulgaria health or how they smell maybe isnt their number 1 priority. I found Sofia horrendous we went into an Irish bar and it was just a thick haze needless to say we left.
re: Pamporovo, smoking and children
It won't be any use to you this year but from June 2010 the smoking ban comes into force here. That'll be an interesting one. Its really quite intolerable in many places, so vote with your feet and leave if it gets too bad. If you REALLY have a problem - go to Francere: Pamporovo, smoking and children
This is all about accepting other cultures/lifestyles, i agree that smoking around children is unacceptable, however to say that going for a weeks break will damage their health may be a tad extreme, some folk will be going to bonfires this weekend and having a great time, do you know whats being burnt on the fire, no we dont but we accept this without a second glance, not long ago if you took your kids out for lunch on a Sunday there were always smokers in Pubs, lets not attack the ...
