Analysis
The law prohibits smoking in “smoke-free spaces,” which is defined to include any place where smoking is strictly prohibited. Further, the ministerial order implementing this provision specifically prohibits smoking in public places, defined as “any opened or closed, publicly owned or publicly used places accessible and usable by all.” This is interpreted to include any “opened” or outdoor public place.
