Is smoking banned in Portugal?
Portugal bans smoking indoors in bars, restaurants and nightlife venues.
Starting from January 1, 2023, Portugal has introduced new regulations prohibiting indoor smoking in bars, restaurants and nightlife venues. If the parliament gives the "green light", the anti-smoking measures will take effect in October. The most stringent measure is to prohibit smoking in bars, restaurants and nightlife venues. Outdoor smoking is allowed in hospitals, schools, sports venues, stations and near covered patios.
If indoor smoking areas are to be maintained, these venues must be larger than 100 square meters, have a floor-to-ceiling height of more than 3 meters, and have a vestibule of at least 4 square meters that is "properly ventilated and equipped with automatic doors."
Venues that maintain indoor smoking areas must also comply with dozens of bylaws regarding ventilation, cleaning and maintenance of facilities.
