But why should smokers not be able to smoke cuz a non smokers decides to eat outside? To be fair I’m a smoker and if I’m sat outside and someone is by me eating I will move away from them and won’t smoke while they are eating as it’s not fair. But if a non smoker can see we are smoking at a table and chooses to sit next to us and order food then why should the smoker have to move?
If im correct in saying, Eating is a social occasion where as smoking is deemed very anti-social and filthy. A resaurant is an eating establishment and smoking has no morral rights there. Typical smoker blaming a non smoker on sitting outside when they can CLEARLY see an anti social person smoking. There are not always tables inside or the person eating might decide to sit outside to enjoy their meal, why should they be subjected to your toxic fumes@@emmarock6299
Hi Lucy i'm a smoker so glad they have lifted the ban. However, i would never smoke where people are eating food so i think designated smoking areas are a good idea.
@@emmarock6299 if i'm already there then its their problem especially if its a designated smoking area i'd just politely say its a smoking area and if you dont like it shove off🤣🤣🤣
As an ex-smoker I am happy the ban has been lifted for two reasons. 1. Pavements will no longer be blocked by those choosing to smoke. 2. Dog ends will not be scattered all over the pavements and roads as there will be ashtrays to use. 👍
Me and hubby are both smokers but was never an issue to move off the terrace to smoke (and put the ciggie butts in the bin after I might add). Wouldn't smoke around people eating or children but a lot of people do. I think it should be up to the individual establishment, but get the impression most would allow it.
When i was over in may we were a loud to smoke outside the front of hotel and smoke outside on the terraces .But it was a bit of a pain some people were vaping inside i would smoke on your own balcany if you were a smoker what a good blog. Keep safe and keep smiling
I'm a smoker, and I'm glad the ban has been lifted. However, I'd never smoke near where people are eating, but yes, I'm pleased as I do like a smoke and a drink .
Non-smoker here, but smokers on terraces is better than on the streets. I always pay attention to wind direction when I seat myself, especially if I'm going to eat.
Sit so wind is going to stop smoke ruining your drinking. Hope Andie's bar will have smoking and non smoking areas, arranged according to wind direction. Sort it by the 30th, cos I'll be visiting Andie's etc till 6th Oct❤
Mixed feelings.. I'm not a smoker as such, but love a small cigar having a drink outside a nice bar. If it was a mainly food establishment, I'd not have a cigar, but if it's not illegal, and the place allows can't stop others, would be off putting mind you. If nothing else helps stop confusion and hassle which is a good thing
Should also ban vaping. Was in a hotel last week where people were vaping in the pool and around it!! Management said there is no law regarding vaping, but in the pool, seriously!!
When the smoking ban came in back home i thought the simple thing to do was to have smoking and non smoking bars then the public and staff could decide where to drink eat and work because if the government was so serious about smoking why did they just not ban the sale of cigarettes if its legal to buy them in a building and legal for government to make money on the sale of them then it should be legal to use them in the building they where bought
I’m probably the worst person as an ex smoker. I don’t mind people smoking but I don’t want to be near them because it irritates my lungs after the years of damage I’ve done to them. Hopefully there will be some bars that advertise as non smoking establishments so I can enjoy myself.
Great news, about time they allowed businesses to decide on smoking, the public will.let them know. As for smoking on the beach, in alcudia they give you a wee box to put you tab ends in, there free and a lady just hands them out, great idea, just put you tab ends in the wee pokey and put them in the bin.❤
Hi Lucy finally catching up with your videos been hectic with kids off school , it would be nice to smoke on the terraces , there wouldn't be cig butts all over floors then , I wouldn't like to be eating in a restaurant though even though I'm a smoker myself, and I was told by my friend you couldn't smoke on the beach so I did go by what I heard lol x
BRILLIANT news Lucy!! Hopefully Benidorm will be free of cigarette ends now😉Im a smoker but seeing all the tab ends on streets and people standing smoking is WORSE than letting people sit and enjoy smoking with ashtrays , great news! xx
Was a bit of a silly rule where you could literally just take a couple of steps away from your table and smoke anyway. Whether you're a smoker, a vaper or neither a little common courtesy costs nothing.
I do not agree with smoking anywhere near food. Why should non smokers be penalised and have to sit indoors because of smokers being out on the terrace as it wouldnt matter where you were sitting you would still smell it and be engulfed ! It stinks! I dont. know how people can afford it anyway. Each to their own!
Smokers were penalised by being made to go outside and smoke in the first place so that non smokers didn’t have to be around smokers, but no that’s not good enough, smokers are now expected to not smoke outside either!
Smoking should not be allowed near restaurants and children ,I always look for non smoking restaurants and I will always do this for my own preference might catch you next week LUCY
My Dad died of smoking related disease in his 60s even though he'd given up 30 yrs before !! So I have never smoked and don't go anywhere near smokers especially hate it when eating
As a smoker, I'm really happy about the ban being lifted, and I personally make sure that I never smoke anywhere near somebody who is eating outside because that's only fair. Who wants smoke wafting into their face when they're enjoying a meal? I do take offence however, when people call us "scumbags" like somebody in the comments said simply for enjoying a cig with a drink. It's civil rights boys and girls, we can smoke if we wish to, that's our choice. I live in a village not that far from Benidorm and I'm going down there tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how many bars have lifted the restrictions
hi Lucy thanks for your update on smoking,personally I would have preferred the ban to have stayed nothing worse than the smell and breathing in cigarette smoke
My Dad died of smoking related disease in his 60s even though he'd given up 30 yrs before !! So I have never smoked and don't go anywhere near smokers especially hate it when eating
As an ex smoker I do appreciate the idea of being able to eat & drink in a no smoking environment so letting individual establishments decide whether or not to allow smoking seems very sensible.
Perhaps the norm should become - as it used to be, before smoking was banned indoors - that there are non smoking areas as well as smoking areas, outdoors. I understand that for many reasons, people may not want to sit near a smoker (I am a smoker, but if I have to sit near someone who doesn't smoke, I ask them if they mind me smoking. Usually they are fine with it but if not, I just remove myself when I want a cigarette.
Lucy, ive always been anti smoking especially while I'm eating food, the vaping doesn't bother me half as much to be honest, as the smell doesn't hang in the air and stick to your clothes, but we all have our vices i suppose😁
Hello Lucy, smoking should be definitely banned from those places and circumstances wherever the smoke gets non smokers and those clean areas are getting dirty because of the ashes. Many years ago Tobacco TV Commercials were permited here until scientists found out the seriouness of the problem when the Marlboro's Cowboy died from emphysema.
Maddness can smoke on a beach .but not on hotel balcony. Needs to be made clear on booking .booked melia no smoking Do they turn blind eye .I've no intention of spending my holiday. Up and down in a lift I get not in room or round food. But on balcony is a bit ott. Will look to change hotel
The only solution is to have the establishment either a 'smoking' or 'non-smoking', that's it! End of!. All customers and management should strictly respect this either way. It's like a restaurant being a vegetarian or not! Or seafood or not. Plenty of choices out there and room for everyone. Now sit down,shut your gob and enjoy yourself. PS EX smoker here and do not like the smell of tobacco smoke.
Why should non smokers be forced to suffer inhalation of disgusting cigerette smoke? Once a smoker who claims it is their right to smoke, lights up, the non smokers right to smoke free air has been taken away. Personally I don't think smoking should be allowed anywhere other people are either sitting socialising, drinking or eating
A lot of the bars have been turning a blind eye to the ban for the last 18 months. But it will be nice to be allowed again.. ps, I don't even smoke but the ban was rediculous in the first place. An infringment on your civil liberties.
breathing in the vehicle poloution whilst you sit and down ethonal will do miore damage than a puff on a cigarette. All humans have rights, use them wisely.
I didn’t understand the ban on smoking on terrace for covid reasons as people would leave there company at the table there sitting at to go on the street with other smokers who they wouldn’t have stood with if they could stay at there table on the terrace.
Oh my. This video has definitely caused a stir 😂 Im a smoker so for me great news. However if I go onto a bars terrace and there is someone eating I will make sure I sit away from them or I wait for them to finish eating before lighting up a cigarette, I do have respect for others and as a smoker I don’t like the smell of smoke wafting in my face whilst eating either so must be horrible for the non smokers. But oh my non smokers are so damn horrible and rude towards smokers it’s just awful. Just because we like something they don’t does not give them the right to call smokers dirty and scum bags etc etc. Smokers for years have been unable to smoke inside so that non smokers can sit inside and be in a smoke free environment, yet that’s not good enough they want to outside area to be smoke free now too. Talk about selfish!
I am a ex smoker. Stopped 6 years ago and I notices from myself that i cant stand the smell of smoke anymore. Like other ex smokers I complain....always said I wouldnt but.....I think if hotels and restauranrs or bars do half terras smoke and other half nonsmoke it would be best for everybody. Dont allow it everywhere on a terras but like i say half yes half no.
They should be banned. As a none smoker why should I have smoke in my face and mouth just so someone can get a quick fix with them not caring about the person sat near them. It's happened loads where we've ended up leaving the bar due to this . It shouldn't matter wether there's food or not . I don't want it while I'm having just a drink too.
@emmarock6299 if I'm in there first why should I move . NO It should be manners to at least ask around you. There could be babies or people with asthma .
I would never smoke by a baby and when looking for somewhere to sit I always choose to sit round by other people who are already smoking or away from people who don’t smoke. I’m not ignorant! But some non smokers don’t think twice about sitting next to us whilst we are already sat there smoking and then moan!
So stay home where you can control your own environment or holiday not in a party town. Loads of other places to enjoy your drink with a doily and entitlement. Nobody is asking your highness, if you are sat outside expect it or get the F on
Pity they dont ban it forever, none smokers having to sit in side or sit in the stink, its not fare. You need air to breath and should never have people poluting the air you breath 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Smoking should be banned in all public spaces except for perhaps extra ventilated enclosed smoking area's set aside in a venue or within the privacy of a personal space such as home and garden. There simply is no argument for it. It is a supplemental habit that has no benefit except perhaps the smoker themselves. I get it relaxes them and gives some enjoyment, but the moment I get a sniff of it my throat literally contracts. I had a meal spoilt by two such inconsiderate people only last summer whilst on a terrace in Carihela. I have several family members who have given up and since said they never realised how disgusting it was until afterwards. You'll see very nice ladies dressed up to the nines walk by you in Benidorm and it's a shame because they made an effort but they have this terrible stale smoke smell around them. It really is a needless habit, I simply don't get why anyone can justify the cost either. Smokers will argue they pay for the NHS in taxes. Don't make me laugh. I feel smoking is very anti-social these days and it should be. Ban it in every public full stop. Sorry for the rant.
Hi Lucy I've never being a smoker if your smoking in a terrace outside in a Restaurant and the smoke is blowing into other people that is passive smoking and causing them Yes Serious Harm so your smoking is to close and a stop should be put to it.Over many decades Hotel Balconies either side of my room where people are smoking i have never being able to keep either the smell or smoke out of my room no matter what I've done so if your smoke is affecting non smokers wherever you happen to be you chose to smoke give the non smokers that choice as well Thanks Lucy for highliting this issue. All the Best David
I was in Malaga last month. First time I’ve been in Spain since 1991. As soon as I walked out of the airport I knew I was in Spain just by all the cigarette smoke outside. Funny.
Hate smoking especially were eating is involved. I don't de.. Begrudge anyone who smokes just have respect for others. It seams to be the same case scenario with spitting. I always find alot of spitting near smoking areas which I really find disgusting👹
As a previous smoker cannot bear to be near any smoker as it hurts my throat now I don't know why this is as I quit 14 years ago .Maybe any one who knows why please post your comment on hear thank you
Totally agree. I wouldn’t chose to sit by someone who was eating, and light up a fag, yet they won’t think twice about sitting next to me then I’m in the wrong, how’s that work?
Disgusting attitude. You want to smoke and have foul smelling breath and odour do it in your own private space. Do not subject others who want to out live you, look and feel better than you, be fitter and healthier than you to your filthy vile toxic habit.
I personally would ban smoking and vaping (which is proving just as harmful as cigarettes) in all public places. If people want to smoke then they can do so in their own homes. But that is my personal opinion.
More wishy washy rule changes that benefit no one, least the non smoker who wants to be outside in a clean air environment yet has to be subjected to second hand smoke, who has no say other than take their custom elsewhere. Under the old rule at least there was a implied area that was likely to be smoke free, now you can have 10 non smokers being affected by one smoker. On saying that many smokers are considerate enough to do the right thing and take themselves away from people.
Society shouldn't have to accommodate these addicts and their compulsion to use around regular people, especially in buildings with kids. They should be offered help but governments prefer being able to tax their addiction forever. Many of them don't realise how much it makes them stink.
So by that thought should ppl be able or not to take their children into bars where ppl will be drinking as drinking can be as bad as smoking it can also be addictive.
How wrong you are. I would be embarrassed by your ridiculous answer. Government have put in place packages to help and support smokers giving up for free for many years, you are so far behind the times!
Can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke so won't be going to benidorm.This is so bad smoking kills and what about passive smoking iam so sad that people can't see this its so wrong . Profit before health
Hate it . Sat eating or Drinking breathing in smoke on the terrace. And selfish smokers don’t care that you don’t want to breathe it in. Your choice and it’s your smoke, not mine.
Good info Lucy
Personally I don't object to people smoking , however would prefer restaurants to be smoke free. 👍
Ban smoking in food establishments, nothing worse than gobbling second hand smoke whilst your eating
I totally agree. Smoking should be banned wherever food is being served. Even outside
No smoking please on any terrace where food is possibly served. Smokers can smoke outside of the terrace and return when there done.
But why should smokers not be able to smoke cuz a non smokers decides to eat outside? To be fair I’m a smoker and if I’m sat outside and someone is by me eating I will move away from them and won’t smoke while they are eating as it’s not fair.

Hi Lucy thanks for the video.packed smoking in 48 years ago.thank god .
Lucy 👍👍, personally, where food is being served that no smoking takes place.
In Australia, you cannot smoke within 5 meters of shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals, bus stops etc. I love it, don’t like to inhale smoke.
Flamin eck I bet that’s caused most smokers to have a rethink. Not to mention the cost.
Couldn't agree more!
As an ex-smoker I am happy the ban has been lifted for two reasons. 1. Pavements will no longer be blocked by those choosing to smoke. 2. Dog ends will not be scattered all over the pavements and roads as there will be ashtrays to use. 👍

Hate the smell of smoke when I'm eating that's me, take care Lucy.
I think it’s up to establishment but should take staff option into consideration they’ve got to clean the dirty ashtrays
As a smoker this is great news 👍
The smoking ban on terraces is the only reason we haven't been to Benidorm since the pandemic.

Good Morning Lucy.
A daft rule ! If your sitting outside! What's the problem? and I don't smoke!
Thanks Lucy! Have a great weekend
If people are smoking right next to you then you can still breathe it in and it’s stinks ! Not a daft rule at all. Smokers should smoke on their own !

Agree with the comments ref places people are eating, but why don't establishments have separate areas for both outside
Let businesses decide to be smoking/non smoking- and then customers choose where to spend their £ . No law/admin costs etc involved.

Lucy, In my personal selfish view BAN smoking EVERYWHERE public. INdoors OR OUT. Its as repulsive as someone farting nearby. I HATE Smoking.
Pity they dont ban it forever, none smokers having to sit in side or sit in the stink, its not fare. You need air to breath and should never have people poluting the air you breath 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
People shouldn't be smoking at all near someone who wants to enjoy a drink without smelling smoke or getting it blown into your face
So people who don’t smoke shouldn’t sit by people who do. Simple

Smoking should be banned in all public spaces except for perhaps extra ventilated enclosed smoking area's set aside in a venue or within the privacy of a personal space such as home and garden. There simply is no argument for it. It is a supplemental habit that has no benefit except perhaps the smoker themselves. I get it relaxes them and gives some enjoyment, but the moment I get a sniff of it my throat literally contracts. I had a meal spoilt by two such inconsiderate people only last summer whilst on a terrace in Carihela. I have several family members who have given up and since said they never realised how disgusting it was until afterwards. You'll see very nice ladies dressed up to the nines walk by you in Benidorm and it's a shame because they made an effort but they have this terrible stale smoke smell around them. It really is a needless habit, I simply don't get why anyone can justify the cost either. Smokers will argue they pay for the NHS in taxes. Don't make me laugh. I feel smoking is very anti-social these days and it should be. Ban it in every public full stop. Sorry for the rant.
Hi Lucy I've never being a smoker if your smoking in a terrace outside in a Restaurant and the smoke is blowing into other people that is passive smoking and causing them Yes Serious Harm so your smoking is to close and a stop should be put to it.Over many decades Hotel Balconies either side of my room where people are smoking i have never being able to keep either the smell or smoke out of my room no matter what I've done so if your smoke is affecting non smokers wherever you happen to be you chose to smoke give the non smokers that choice as well Thanks Lucy for highliting this issue. All the Best David
I was in Malaga last month. First time I’ve been in Spain since 1991. As soon as I walked out of the airport I knew I was in Spain just by all the cigarette smoke outside. Funny.
Hate smoking especially were eating is involved. I don't de.. Begrudge anyone who smokes just have respect for others. It seams to be the same case scenario with spitting. I always find alot of spitting near smoking areas which I really find disgusting👹
As someone who has breathing issues I’d ban the damn things everywhere. They stink!
Then book a hotel or holiday that is non smoking. Easy options if you don't like smokers.
me here.
@@hiramabiff2017 Tell me where and I would book it
I prefer people not to smoke where food is being served Lucy.
fascinating !
As a previous smoker cannot bear to be near any smoker as it hurts my throat now I don't know why this is as I quit 14 years ago .Maybe any one who knows why please post your comment on hear thank you
Thanks Lucy I vape i would not smoke when people are eating
If people choose to eat near me when I smoke then that's on them
Totally agree. I wouldn’t chose to sit by someone who was eating, and light up a fag, yet they won’t think twice about sitting next to me then I’m in the wrong, how’s that work?
Disgusting attitude. You want to smoke and have foul smelling breath and odour do it in your own private space. Do not subject others who want to out live you, look and feel better than you, be fitter and healthier than you to your filthy vile toxic habit.
Coke dealer ban first?
I know what you mean. The amount of times I've been called Charlie.....
I personally would ban smoking and vaping (which is proving just as harmful as cigarettes) in all public places. If people want to smoke then they can do so in their own homes. But that is my personal opinion.
More wishy washy rule changes that benefit no one, least the non smoker who wants to be outside in a clean air environment yet has to be subjected to second hand smoke, who has no say other than take their custom elsewhere.
Under the old rule at least there was a implied area that was likely to be smoke free, now you can have 10 non smokers being affected by one smoker.
On saying that many smokers are considerate enough to do the right thing and take themselves away from people.
Society shouldn't have to accommodate these addicts and their compulsion to use around regular people, especially in buildings with kids. They should be offered help but governments prefer being able to tax their addiction forever. Many of them don't realise how much it makes them stink.
So by that thought should ppl be able or not to take their children into bars where ppl will be drinking as drinking can be as bad as smoking it can also be addictive.
How wrong you are. I would be embarrassed by your ridiculous answer. Government have put in place packages to help and support smokers giving up for free for many years, you are so far behind the times!
@@Gingerrogers124 hmm he sounds uneducated and a blaggard! Do you think he frequents the bars lol
@fionaduval6764 it's not me Fiona 🍺🍺👍
Should be banned full stop. Hate smoking. Passive smoking proved to be linked to cacer. Just don't do it.
Can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke so won't be going to benidorm.This is so bad smoking kills and what about passive smoking iam so sad that people can't see this its so wrong . Profit before health
Hopefully cant smoke were people eating nothing worse when you a non smoker
Hate it . Sat eating or Drinking breathing in smoke on the terrace. And selfish smokers don’t care that you don’t want to breathe it in.
Your choice and it’s your smoke, not mine.
Smoking is a disgusting habit, should be banned wherever food or drink is served.
