The smoking ban in certain places in 2006 has expanded to beaches, public parks and in the vicinity of certain public places, namely educational institutions, he added.
"Smoke-free will now be the norm", declared the minister in the presentation of the French National Program to combat tobacco consumption.
"Smoke-free spaces - over 7,200 in more than 73 departments - are primarily the result of a movement driven locally by communities. Today, we are shifting responsibility and establishing this principle as a rule", he announced.
