Smoke free France?

Is France slowly becoming civilized or are we losing France as we know it and love it?

France imposed a ban on smoking in public places, bars, nightclubs and CAFÈS… on Jan 1.

France stands for Egalité, Fraternité and Liberté – which is being represented by the cafés according to one interviwee in IHT.

I’d say it is good, France is becoming more civilized, step by step.
