France has struggled to kick its smoking habit. A new public health decree published Saturday aims to change that. In the coming days, smoking will be banned in all French parks and sports venues, at beaches and bus stops, in a perimeter around all schools, and anywhere children could gather in public.

    I do not see how that’s opposed to personal choice, one’s liberty to smoke stops where another person’s liberty to not deal with the smell and refuse begins

      I hate more the fact that it’s super toxic, then the smell comes

      10+% of all people that die due to smoking die of passive smoking, so inhaling the smoke from other people

      I respect (scope: smoking) child carriages as long as they are not next to the road (i.e., car traffic). Then it’s free game.
