Balearic Islands reject smoking ban on beaches and terraces — what now?

Answer

What should visitors in Mallorca expect if smoking rules change later?

If the national law moves forward, Mallorca could end up with a mixed system of stricter protection zones and voluntary smoke-free spaces. Visitors would likely see clearer signs, more ashtrays and more multilingual information, especially in tourist areas. For now, the best approach is to check local signs and follow any on-site beach or terrace rules.
