Dublin - It's a breath of fresh air!
 As
many of you may know, Dublin is now Europe's first smoke
free capital city! Since March 29th this year, a smoking
ban in the work
place
has
been in force. The primary purpose of the prohibition is
to afford protection to workers and the public who are
exposed to harmful environmental tobacco smoke.
So, what does this mean for visitors to Dublin?

 Dublin
pubs, night clubs, restaurants and cafés are now smoke
free zones. You can, of course, smoke out of doors, in
your hotel room, or
in private accommodation.

can enjoy a night out without waking up the next morning
with your clothes and skin smelling of tobacco.
You
