A few years. I can't remember the exact year: in between two
visits a couple of years apart, Turkey went from being one giant
stinking ashtray to far cleaner than the UK. But the only place
you see no-smoking signs is on buses, so I don't know quite how
it works. I wrote the number of the antismoking law down a bit
of paper once but I'm buggered if I know where I put it. I'll
google some time tonight.
