Gambling operators in Romania are girding up their loins for the possible effects of the statewide smoking ban will have in the local gambling industry.

Late last year, the Romanian parliament strengthened its anti-smoking controls and extended the state’s smoking ban to include bars and playgrounds, Reuters reported.

Romania has been considering passing an anti-smoking bill since 2011, but even without the bill, smoking had already been banned in state institutions, schools and hospitals.

The parliament’s lower house voted last December in favor of banning smoking not only in playgrounds, but also all indoor public spaces, including bars, restaurants and workplaces. The new law also prohibits the sale of tobacco products in private and state-owned health and education establishments, according to Romania-Insider.com.
