Smoking

Rygeforbud

On 15 August 2007 a smoking ban in all public indoor areas was introduced.

Along with most other western European countries, Denmark has now imposed a blanket ban on smoking in public places. Smoking is forbidden in public buildings and private business - including restaurants, pubs, shops, public transport, entertainment venues and workplaces - throughout the country.
The only exception from the ban is for establishments with an area less than 40 sq.mtrs., which don't serve fresh food - so you can still enjoy a cigarette in some smaller pubs if you're lucky - some places have installed special smoking rooms but most refer smokers to the streets.
