Tomorrow, an amendment to the current smoking regulations goes into effect that requires bars and restaurants to place a sticker at the entrance to show whether the establishment allows smoking or not. The bar or restaurant can be completely non-smoking or it can have a non-smoking area in a completely separated room.

Non-smoking advocates were hoping for bigger changes, but according to the news reports, it is likely to take a while before the Czech Republic follows other European countries, such as Ireland and Italy and bans smoking in bars and restaurants entirely.
