France to ban smoking in most outdoor spaces
France plans to ban smoking in all outdoor places that can be frequented by children.
The smoking ban will come into force on 1 July and will include beaches, parks, public gardens, outside schools, bus stops and sports venues. Smoking in establishments like restaurants and nightclubs has been banned in France since 2008. We get reaction from around the world and speak to our Europe editor.
