While smoking is not legally completely banned in bars, restaurants and other indoor public places, the owners tend to be more inclined towards enabling this habit by allowing indoor smoking. This means that nonsmokers have to either deal with it, or – if they are really bothered by smoke – try to find non smoking places.
When famous Network Cafe Bar did its research on bars and restaurants in Belgrade, the categories were not only the quality of service, offer, competence, management and high level of maintenance, but also the health level of the ambiance, meaning the nonsmoking area.
This project was also supported by the city’s public health institutions. It examined over 500 bars and restuarants and surveyed over 2000 people. Finally, they came up with a list of places in Belgrade, equally enjoyable for smokers and non smokers.
