Smoking in mehanas

We are non-smokers and love to breathe deeply when we sit in a restaurant. But there are no non-smoking-mehanas in Bansko, are there?

If you go to the Pirin Golf Country club golf clubhouse they ask you smoking or non smoking.

Aside from that they do not have no smoking from my experiance.

Don't breath too deeply or you might choke on your chopski.

Last March I opened the hotel bedroom window for a little fresh air, couldn't believe the smoke from all the wood fires drifting in, love Bansko but feel sorry for the fresh air breathers out there, the smoke hangs like a Victorian smog over the town. Very Happy

No. And worse, if you sit in the no smoking section and light a cigarette the waiter will bring an ashtray. Roll on June 2010 when it'll be banned....

I don't see the bulgarians upholding any ban. It's a country where most people smoke and having lived under a communist regime in the not so distant past they don't take to being dictated to. Understandable.

If rural parts of Spain can't be bothered upholding the smoking ban, what hope is there for Bulgaria Confused

re: Smoking in mehanas

smoking is getting less and less popular in Europe. And in a family friendly winter SPORT resort there should be non smoking areas in restaurants!

re: Smoking in mehanas

We were in one restaurant and a bulgarian lit up in a non-smoking section. It was good to see the restaurant staff go over and insist that they leave that section. They actually sent them outside. - Can't remember where we were though....
