As evidence that the world continues to move toward a smoke-free future, France has banned smoking in its cafes. Most people in France support the ban, because most people in France do not smoke.
About a quarter of France's 60 million people smoke. The Health Ministry said one in two regular smokers — or some 66,000 people annually — dies of smoking-related illness here, and about 5,000 nonsmokers die each year from second-hand smoke.
