TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin France to ban smoking on beaches, parks and bus stops from July 1

The gendarmerie should stick to patrolling to prevent crime and hunt down the bad guys.

As for France banning smoking, I have never seen more young people, especially women, smoking as I saw in 2023. Just about every cafe. But I guess the beach sounds like a place for more laws to snag somebody.
