France bans smoking in most outdoor areas, starting July 1; violators face a €135 fine.
enjoy riots even bigger than when they raised the retirement age
This is basically aimed at preventing second hand smoking for children, so its public places where children tend to be.
Good honestly
Yeah ok I assume French people being really into cigarettes is just an outdated stereotype anyways
23.1% of the French population smokes daily
What the fuck.
everywhere in europe smells like cigarettes… everywhere
Honestly, every time I step out of my rural house I’m over come by a wave of cigarette smoke…I can’t even see.
yeesh, wonder what the cancer rates are like
I only know non smokers who died of the lung cancer. When we smoke for a long time, our doctors say quitting is lethal. I shit you not. My uncle smoked 3 packs a day and doctor told him stopping would kill him. Dude died holding his hand like he holds a cigarette.
shit, I wonder what the COPD rates are like.
europeans smoke a lot in general, even younger euros like under 15 ones. There was like a short period where it was not trendy anymore and people started switching to vapes or quit smoking all together, but cigarettes came back into fashion again.
And that’s not even the highest numbers in Europe. You want some heavy smokers? Look at Eastern Europe.

You should look at how many percentage in the purchase taxe revenu in China does tobacco occupies
“France loses its national identity” was not in my bingo card for today
France demolishes Eiffel tower, announces all mines must be shot on sight
There will be riots. Depriving a F*ench of their cigarettes is like depriving a fish of its water.
Isn’t the word cigarette french?
Might as well be, they earned it.
“-ette” is french and is used to indicate smaller than the normal. A cigarette is a smaller cigar. “-chen” is used in a similar context in german for example.
The suffix ette implies feminity which then extends to the sixe thing. Cause girls couldn’t handle cigars they made cigarettes and then cigarettes were what was shipped in your rations in ww1 and 2 and then that’s what dudes smoked too.
Damn, now you’re going to have to have multiple affairs just to have places to light up throughout the day.
I don’t live in France. But Jesus fucking Christ I hate people deciding it’s OK to light one up next to me in a queue or outdoor seating.
tbh, it’s wild to me that people still smoke at all in the covid era, let alone in public and around other people.
French culture destroyed by le wokisme
nooooon Le Wokisme strikes again hon hon hon this iz le totalitarianism
What’s next, banning berets and baguettes? You’re making these miserable people’s lives already worse!
They should ban grooming in university, number of people failing their degree will skyrocket
they’re going to require a license to griller du pain dans votre propre grille-pain
I remember being in Spain shortly after they banned smoking indoors. I was in a bar with friends, where people were still smoking, when a couple of cops walk in. There was a tense moment before both cops pulled out cigarettes and started smoking inside too, lmao
Making 23% of the population grumpy as fuck from no nicotine hit might make some crazy shit happen
Weed has won the war on smoking.
France has fallen
how will the french national identity survive?
