烟草在线据法新社报道编译　　保加利亚的立法议员们在4月11日决定，从6月1日开始，保加利亚将禁止在包括咖啡馆、酒吧和饭店在内的所有封闭的公共场所吸烟。

　　保加利亚这个巴尔干小国有着欧洲烟瘾第二重的烟民，其烟民的烟瘾仅次于希腊。而希腊在2005年就已经禁止在所有政府大楼、公共交通工具、火车、电影院、学校和幼儿园内吸烟。

　　但酒吧、咖啡馆和饭店则获准设立独立的吸烟区和非吸烟区，而小于100平方米（约1100平方英尺）的经营场所，则可以选择允许吸烟或不允许吸烟。

　　这项在国会一读获得通过的新禁令，如今要堵住这个漏洞。

　　据保加利亚卫生部的统计数据说，保加利亚总计740万的人口中，大约有44%的人经常吸烟，就是这些人鼓噪反对以前所有实施彻底禁烟令的尝试。

Bulgaria to fall under extended smoking ban in June

　　Smoking in tobacco-addicted Bulgaria will be banned in all enclosed public spaces as of June 1，including cafes，bars and restaurants，regardless of size，lawmakers decided Wednesday.

　　The small Balkan country，home to Europe's second-heaviest smokers after Greece，already banned smoking in all government buildings，public transport，trains，cinemas，schools and kindergartens in 2005.

　　But bars，cafes and restaurants were allowed to have separate smoking and non-smoking sections，while establishments smaller than 100 square metres (around 1,100 square feet) could choose whether to be either.

　　The new ban，approved on a first reading in parliament，now moves to close this loophole.

　　According to health ministry data，about 44 percent of Bulgaria's total population of 7.4 million are regular smokers，who caused an uproar against all previous attempts to impose a total ban.
