Smoking in Uruguay in enclosed public spaces became illegal on 1 March 2006. On that date, bars, restaurants or offices where people are caught smoking began facing fines of more than $1,100 or a three-day closure. Uruguay was the first country in Latin America to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces. Anti-smoking groups estimate that as many as a third of Uruguay's 3.4 million people smoke. Uruguayan President Tabaré Vázquez, an oncologist, has cited reports suggesting about seven people die each day in Uruguay from smoking-related causes including lung cancer, emphysema and other illnesses.

| - Fumar a l'Uruguai en espais tancats es va convertir en il·legal el març de 2006. Ara els bars, restaurants o oficines on la gent es trobi fumant hauran de pagar una sanció de $ 1.100 o tancar per tres dies. Uruguai va ser el primer país d'Amèrica Llatina en prohibir el tabaquisme en espais tancats. Els grups antitabac calculen que almenys la tercera part dels 3,4 milions d'uruguaians fumen. L'ex-president Tabaré Vázquez, un oncòleg practicant, va donar a conèixer que aproximadament 7 persones moren per dia a l'Uruguai com a resultat del tabaquisme (5.000 persones per any) i les seves conseqüències com a el càncer de pulmó, l'emfisema pulmonar i altres malalties. Per promoure aquesta iniciativa, l'ex-president Vázquez va llençar una campanya coneguda com "Un Milió de Gràcies," la qual és una referència pel nombre de fumadors uruguaians. Sembla que va tenir bona acollida, ja que una enquesta del Ministeri de Salut Pública d'aquest país va certificar que la mesura va comptar amb el suport del 70% dels fumadors. El president va ser una de les figures importants en la lluita contra el tabaquisme al país, la qual és una de les més sòlides del món, i similar a les que ja s'han posat en pràctica en països com Irlanda, Suècia i Noruega. El 2010, la tabaquera Philip Morris va presentar una demanda judicial contra l'estat uruguaià per les seves mesures antitabac. (ca)

Uruguayan President Tabaré Vázquez, an oncologist, has cited reports suggesting about seven people die each day in Uruguay from smoking-related causes including lung cancer, emphysema and other illnesses. To help promote the plan, president Vazquez launched a campaign called "A Million Thanks," which is a reference to the number of Uruguayan smokers. So far, the campaign seems to have won these people over, as an opinion poll conducted by the Ministry of Public Health states that close to 70% of the country's smokers support the legislation. The president was the impetus behind the government-decreed measure, which is among the world’s toughest and is similar to bans already in place in Ireland, Sweden, and Norway. (en)
