Is it true that in France everything is very strict with smoking? What happens if I smoke in the street? Where can you smoke at all?

Meets Anton Zverev, company Unex
February 1, 2007 in France came into effect a ban on smoking in public places, except for tobacco shops, casinos, gambling houses, discos, cafes, hotels and restaurants. However, on January 1, 2008, the ban also spread to all of these institutions.

This law caused great concern of owners of cafes and restaurants. But the output was quickly found - any Parisian cafe has an outdoor terrace, where tables are put up. Such street cafes are a Parisian tradition. For Parisians and visitors a cup of coffee or cappuccino for a cigarette at an outdoor cafe is strongly associated with the spirit of Paris.

But in cafes, restaurants, hotels and so on. D. Can not smoke.

can smoke on the street. But try not to throw the cigarette on the asphalt, so as not to litter, and throw used cigarettes into garbage containers.

Paris, when clean, very beautiful!
