Current Affairs Even without failed smoking ban, it's 'lights out' at some Prague cafes
This week the Chamber of Deputies struck down a bill amendment that would have banned smoking in Czech restaurants. Opponents of tobacco vow to continue their push to clear the air inside the country's eateries, however, a small number of cafes and restaurants have beat them to the punch.
