It sounds crazy but....
For everyone who wants to smoke in public in france... well now you cant as of today. It's now illegal in order to promote a healthier population. This has raised a lot of debate in France, paticularly about the role of the government in legislating over personal freedom.
There is a 68 Euro fine for anyone smoking.
Also, the eiffel tower will be "turned off" tonight in order to promote "environmental awareness". A large proportion of the french population is also expected to turn off theiir lights and electrical devices at 7:50pm for a short amount of time.
Plastic bags will be banned soon.
Pretty big steps if you ask me
