"France will ban smoking on beaches and public parks, the country’s health
minister said on Tuesday, presenting a series of measures as the government
looks to prevent 75,000 tobacco-related deaths per year.
The measures — part of a government plan to combat smoking — aim to create a
“tobacco-free generation by 2032.”
Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, French health minister Aurélien
Rousseau said that smoking on beaches, public parks, forests and some other
public spaces, including close to schools, will soon be banned in France.
The minister did not give an exact timeline but speaking to CNN-affiliate
BFMTV, he hinted that people could face fines as early as next year.
Rousseau also announced a gradual price increase for cigarettes, saying that a
packet would cost 12 euros ($13) in 2025, and 13 euros ($14) by 2027.
France had already said in September it would ban disposable e-cigarettes."
