France to ban smoking outdoors in most places to protect children

How ? People are garbage and throw their buds into the sand... Alot of human garbage throw their plastic and shit too, while dogs aren't allowed on beaches? 🤦 This is a good thing + every plastic bottle or trash shouldn't be allowed either !

I quit smoking a year ago and I would totally agree on the Beach part. However, restaurant on an outside table? Nah, nah... That's going to far !

Anyway smoking is bad, its very expensive, you smell bad and it doesn't bring you anything positive.

I feel like it depends on the beach. Haven’t been to French one’s, but I’d bet there were some touristy ones that get slammed with people. Those make sense for this. Now, some of the quieter more locals only kinda beaches that people are able to spread out more, that’s probably fine to keep… but that’s going to be a hard distinction to make clear rules on.
