Smoking in Dubai

I am sure there is someone out there who can tell me what are the actual laws are now on smoking inside in Dubai because I am really confused. As I udnerstood it smoking in all malls is now banned and smoking in restaurants and / or bars (only in malls?) is restricted to those outlets with their own air-conditioning systems.

Is this correct? If so does anyone know why the Agency Wine Bar in Emirates Towers still allows smoking in their 'outside' area?

What are the laws of smoking in bars / restaurants not in malls?
What about hotels?

Does anyone know of what further amendments in the law are in the pipeline?

Answers on a postcard please.

Thanks!

No more smoking in Dubai malls

In Emirates Today we can read: "Dubai’s shopping centres are advising smokers to step outside today as the ban on lighting up in malls takes effect. Smoking will not be tolerated in any areas of the mall including food courts and coffee shops following a Dubai Municipality order."

As a non-smoker that sounds very nice, but do you really think it will be enforced?

The article says, "... special Dubai Municipality inspectors have been deployed in most malls to ensure the rules are followed. Anyone caught lighting up will be ordered to leave. If they fail to comply, police will be called."
