Mollerussa (ACN) .- The two bars in Mollerussa Café Vienna and the Mossadeta bar that rejected the smoking laws last week are no longer letting their customers smoke on their premises. A sign has been hung up indicating the prohibition of smoking. The owners of the establishments decided to abandon their protest after receiving a financial penalty from health authorities. One of the owners of Mossadeta Raquel Pino said on Thursday that they had no other choice after inspectors sent them an ultimatum warning them that they could receive a fine of 6,000 euros a day.
