As the bars that don't allow smoking shut down through a lack of trade all bars in bulgaria will soon be all smoking.

They tried it as a pre-empt (is that right ??) to accession to the EU in 2004 i believe, didn't work then....

Fat chance of a smoking ban in BG ever being policed, I can't imagine any politician running a campaign in the up coming summer elections to ban smoking, not even their grandmother would vote for them!!!!!

Some restaurants I visited in Sofia asked if I wanted smoking or non smoking area, so some moves have been made.
