Smoking is now illegal in bars and restaurants Smoking ban applies nationally in Germany ...
German police raid radical Islam suspects ... throughout Germany. North-Rhine Westphalia and Thuringia became the last two states to implement public smoking bans on July 1, all other states having done so piecemeal since late 2007.
In Berlin, where a ban took effect on January 1, smokers were granted a six-month period of grace that expired today and those who breach the ban now face fines of 1,000 euros. The German cancer association, which claims 3,300 people die from passive smoking in Germany annually, said that the extension of the ban to all states meant "people can now breathe a sigh of relief."
