Smokefree in Geneva?

[yummers]

I've heard that an initiative to control smoking in restaurants in Geneva passed by a large majority last month. When will this go into effect (if it hasn't already)? If we are still in waiting mode, can anyone recommend places that have gotten a head start on clean air?

As far as I know, all restaurants/bars went smoke free on October 31 in Geneva. I've been out for dinner a few times this week and they all appeared to be following the smoking ban. Finally!

Thanks, SB. If this is true it's a really big deal. I can remember far too many Geneva evenings spent in department store cafeterias. Even worse, I would sometimes go to a place with a group of coworkers and have to turn around and walk out by myself because of the air inside. (I have asthma.) It's especially bad in the winter, of course, where the outside option is not available.
