NO SMOKING Laws to be Enforced
On February 1st, France began implementing the first stages of its ban on smoking in public places. This stage bans smoking in public places such as businesses, schools, health facilities, airports, sports stadiums, concert halls, and museums. Beginning January 2008, smoking will also be banned in cafés, restaurants, casinos and discotheques. Smokers who ignore the law will be fined €68, while establishments that don't enforce the law will be fined €135. Since St Barth is subject to French law, we can expect to see the same enforcement here.
