Well, I have done a bit of searching, and this is what I found in the Portugal Resident:

THE BAN on smoking in public, due to come into effect in Portugal on January 1, 2008, has been slightly altered, becoming more tolerant towards smokers and owners of commercial businesses.

The law that was passed on Thursday, June 28 by the government in the Assembleia da República, allows owners of establishments such as bars, restaurants and clubs with less than 100sqm, the right to choose whether they will allow smokers or not.

If they choose to allow smokers, however, they must have ventilation systems installed to eliminate the smoke.


Have not found a confirmation of the date yet...

My guess is that a door will be classified as a ventilation system - just leave it open :D
