No smoking by kit_mc
These signs are something you'll see frequently around Riga. Smoking is banned in most public buildings such as bars, restaurants and cinemas or at the least there is a separate room for smokers. This sign signifies that you shouldn't smoke closer than 10 metres away from a building.You don't see groups of smokers huddled around entrances to buildings here. In fact even though cigarettes are so cheap, smoking really doesn't seem to be very popular in Latvia at all.
I read that at one stage they had intended banning smoking on the street even but this has been rejected.
