Intro: The public smoking ban controversy has definitively reached the Falkland Islands, a community of heavy smokers.
The Malvina House Hotel in Stanley is to become the latest public venue to ban smoking on its premises. This follows a recent decision from another famous Stanley house, FalklandsÂ' Brasserie.
During July, the Malvina House Hotel asked customers to complete a questionnaire about their views on smoking in the hotel. The results of the questionnaire have now been collated and Manager of the Hotel Carl Stroud notes that out of a response of 103 completed forms an overwhelming 75% of respondents would like a complete ban on smoking in the bar and public areas.
Mr Stroud says that in view of the customers overwhelming response, a total ban throughout the hotel will commence from the 14th August, which he believes will give a much more pleasant environment both for the customer and staff alike.
