France bans smoking on beaches and parks

Anyone lighting up a cigarette on the beach or in a public park in France will be breaking the law. The new rule was introduced to protect children from the dangers of second-hand smoke.

Bus shelters and areas near libraries, swimming pools and schools will also be affected by the ban.

However, to the disappointment of some anti-smoking activists, the ban does not cover bar and restaurant terraces where many French people still smoke with pleasure.

They are also unhappy that the ban does not apply to e-cigarettes.

People also should not smoke within a 10-meter radius of schools, swimming pools, libraries and other places where smoking could harm minors.
