Coming into effect of the Amendment to the Regulations of the General Law for Tobacco Control

January, 2023

Dear clients and friends:

Recently, the Amendment to the Regu­lations of the General Law for Tobacco Control came into effect. This amendment has a direct impact on the commercial operations of restau­rants and bars, since it requires es­tablishments that have designated smoking-only areas to ensure that such areas comply with the following spec­ifications: Be totally separate from so-called 100 percent smoke-free spaces; Be located only in open air spaces, and never in an enclosed one; That no food and beverage con­sumption service is provided, and no recreational activities are carried out therein; and That they do not exceed 10% of the area of an establishment, solely considering the area destined to the provision of the service. Interested parties can file a consti­tutional claim (amparo proceeding) against this new regulation and request a stay in order to be able to continue operating normally.
