From July 1st, France will ban smoking in schools, parks and beaches

From July 1, France will ban smoking in schools, parks and beaches to protect children. The decree published this weekend does not mention fines for violations.

The decree still needs to be supplemented by an order from the health minister to define the exact areas where smoking will no longer be allowed, including a ban in schools, libraries, sports facilities and other places that will host, train or accommodate minors.

This measure was promised by the government at the end of 2023 and confirmed at the end of May by Health Minister Catherine Vautrin, with an initial implementation date of July 1 across France.

After decades of glorifying tobacco, France is now launching its biggest smoking ban to date. The new restrictions, announced by Vautrin, will ban smoking in almost all outdoor public spaces where children may gather, including beaches, parks, gardens, playgrounds, stadiums, school entrances and bus stops.

While the law reflects public health priorities, it also signals a deeper cultural shift. Smoking has defined French identity, fashion and cinema for so long that this new measure has the effect of a quiet French revolution in a country whose relationship with tobacco is known for its complexity./CNA
