French Think About Beach Smoking Ban

The French Minister for health has said, that she might like to ban smoking on beaches.  It’s reported here on the BBC.  This is the first paragraph.

A call by France’s health minister for local authorities to ban smoking in parks and on beaches has sparked debate as a heat wave grips the country.

Marisol Touraine told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper she wanted to see more tobacco-free zones, to protect children’s health.

The Socialist minister said she hoped smoking would also be banned outside schools and on university campuses.

According to the article, there is actually a ban at La Ciotat near Marseilles, where they say it has been well-received.

In my view, anything that cuts smoking is a good idea.
