If Berlin has its way, 40 percent of seats in German restaurants will be reserved for non-smokers. Marion Caspers-Merk, the federal government's drug commissioner, announced on Tuesday that the government is stepping up its anti-smoking campaign, hoping to get not only restaurants, but German hospitals to limit or eliminate smoking on their premises.
The government plans to meet with Germany's restaurant and hotel association to ask them to voluntarily enlarge the non-smoking areas in their establishments. Caspers-Merk said Germany is looking at Austria for its model and hopes to convince the hospitality sector to impose limits on smoking step by step.
