SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE: HUNGARIAN STEREOTYPES and THE CURRENT RULES ABOUT SMOKING


 

DAILY NEWS HUNGARY by Gergely Lajtai-Szabo  -  the rules and regulations on buying tobacco, selling tobacco, advertising tobacco products, and so on prove that Hungary has gone anti-smoking!

EXCERPT: Forbidden areas: A couple of years ago, Hungary joined those countries that have made the regulations concerning smoking stricter, so smoking is forbidden in public institutions and catering units.  It means that schools, state offices and other state institutions (like theaters) are off limits for smoking...
