7. The operator of premises described in paragraph 8.1 of section 2 containing 35 seats or more must, when setting aside areas where smoking is permitted, separate them from the areas where smoking is prohibited by means of partition walls that extend from floor to ceiling, and equip the smoking areas with a negative pressure ventilation system which allows smoke to be evacuated directly to the outside of the building. However, the opening that allows movement between the area where smoking is permitted and the area where smoking is prohibited need not be equipped with a door.
