France moves to stub out smoking Mon Jan 29, 12:16 PM ET
PARIS (AFP) - Part one of a French ban on smoking in public places comes into force on Thursday, covering workplaces, schools and hospitals and setting the clock ticking for smoke-filled cafes and bars which have until next January to kick the habit.

Smokers will now have to stub out on the doorstep of shops, sports clubs and entertainment venues that still allowed smoking, while "smokers' corners" in school staff rooms and hospitals will vanish entirely.
Panicked owners of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and casinos -- anticipating a loss of custom in a country where almost one in three adults is a smoker -- have been given a year to prepare for the minor earthquake.

I've never been to a country with the quickest time interval between last bite and cigarette. It'll never be the same, the conversation that is, without Les Gauloise.... |

That's French Canadian.
This is closer to what a Frenchman would say:
Non, mais ils se foutent de la gueule de qui? Je veux ma clope, putain! |
