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

Answer

What would a seasonal smoking rule mean for Mallorca beaches?

A seasonal rule would mean smoking is restricted only during the busiest hours or months, rather than all day and all year. For Mallorca, that could be a compromise between protecting families and avoiding a strict year-round ban for beach bars and terraces. It would still need clear signage and practical enforcement to work well.
