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.

    It’s perfectly fine. If all smokers had the graciousness to not smoke around other people in public this wouldn’t be a problem. As someone who’s bothered by smoke it’s very annoying when I’m sitting on a bench in a park and someone comes up to the next bench and starts smoking.
