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.

      I remember when smoking was banned in bars and restaurants. Smokers were furious. Now everybody enjoys it. I guess this could go the same way.
