The Bulgarian MPs approved Friday a smoking ban in indoor public spaces, effective June 1, 2010.

The MPs post-voting opinion was that the practical enactment of that ban would be doubtfully effective, Darik Radio reported.

"We are passing a not-working law. It is not clear how it is going to be supervised", BSP MP, Stoyan Vitanov, commented.

Until the bill is enforced there will be limited smoking restrictions that are active now. Indoor public spaces are divided in to smoking and no-smoking areas. No-smoking areas, though, are significantly smaller than the smoking ones.

The ban is included in the changes of the Health Act, which are proposed to the Bulgarian Parliament by the Cabinet.
