Updated on 10 July 2009

A new law passed by Cypriot MPs bans public smoking indoors in a bid to curb some of the highest levels of passive smoking in Europe.

MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour in the 56-seat legislature on Thursday.

The law, which comes into effect on January 1, bans lighting up in most all-enclosed spaces, including establishments long popular with smokers such as nightclubs, coffee shops, pool halls and betting shops.
