France bans outdoor smoking, violators face fines up to 135 euros
France has officially banned smoking in most outdoor public spaces, marking a significant shift in its approach to tobacco regulation. The new law, set to take effect on July 1, 2025, prohibits smoking in areas where children are present, including beaches, parks, public gardens, bus stops, and sports venues. This move reflects growing concerns over public health and secondhand smoke exposure, particularly for younger generations.
