Smoking at the Oktoberfest

Even though Bavaria has one of the strictest non-smoking laws in Europe, smoking is still allowed in the festival tents.

Most of all, the problems with enforcing the anti-smoking law and the security-issues that might arise from that, were the reasons, why Oktoberfest tents are the big exception that was made in that law.

However, the landlords of the tents are planning to create noon-smoking areas or disallowing smoking until some later time in the evening.
