As I think a lot of you on this forum will know, that I am most certainly anti-smoking in public areas, and we have had quite a few heated debates on this forum about this subject. I do NOT wish to go over all that again, but we haven't covered the The Law & Awnings.................
 
 What I would like to know please are a couple of answers to the following:
 
 1.  Am I correct in saying that anyone wishing to smoke are allowed to do this in an awning (which a lot of the bars & restaurants have erected adjacent their main building now the cold weather is here)so long as there is an opening ie part of the awning is left open to let the smoke out?
 
 2.  My main question is - Many of the owners of restaurants/Bars are now leaving doors open from their main inside building to the awning.  SO, subsequently the smoke is coming in to the main restaurant (where you are not allowed to smoke).  
 
 I would like to know if this is within the Spanish Law please? OR should the doors be completely closed in the main restaurant?  HENCE - Letting the smokers smoke to their hearts content in the awning area and letting us non-smokers enjoy the evening without having to inhale their smoke?
