Does the Latest German Anti-Smoking Law Affect the Restaurant Behaviour of the Berlin People?

The introduction of a comprehensive anti-smoking law in Germany in 2008 aimed to protect non-smokers and assist smokers in quitting by prohibiting indoor smoking in public spaces. While the law is intended to enhance public health, it has faced significant backlash from the restaurant industry, particularly among establishments unable to accommodate separate smoking areas. The law's economic impact, particularly on profits, has sparked widespread debate among smokers and the general population, highlighting the tension between health initiatives and business interests.
