Prohibición de fumar en establecimientos de comida

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que no puedes fumar en los restaurantes. Además, los dueños de estos lugares deben hacer un esfuerzo para que la gente no fume dentro.

Es como cuando estás en casa y decides no permitir que se escuche música muy alta porque quieres un ambiente tranquilo. Aquí, los restaurantes quieren un ambiente libre de humo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan va a un restaurante llamado 'Sabor del Mar'. Al entrar, nota un cartel que dice 'Prohibido fumar'. Si Juan ve a alguien fumando, puede informar al encargado, quien debe asegurarse de que se cumpla la ley y pedirle a esa persona que apague su cigarrillo.

Penalidades

Si un establecimiento no cumple, puede ser cerrado hasta que se corrija la situación.
