Italy Turin Tightens Smoking Ban in Outdoor Public Areas
According to a report by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation on May 5th, the northern Italian city of Turin has further strengthened its smoking ban. In addition to banning smoking in indoor public places, outdoor public areas are now also included in the restrictions, with violators facing fines for suppressing the urge to smoke.
According to Mayor Stefano Lo Russo, the new smoking ban regulations are aimed at respecting non-smokers and promoting a culture of mutual respect. This innovative regulation applies not only to cigarettes, but also to cigars, pipes, heated tobacco products, and e-cigarettes. Violators of the ban will face a fine of 100 euros.
According to the website Potell (tz.de), smokers must obtain explicit consent from others within a five-meter radius or from nearby pregnant women and children in order to smoke outdoors. If consent is not given, outdoor smoking is completely prohibited. Since 2005, the Italian government has implemented a comprehensive smoking ban in public buildings, offices, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and hotels. Now, the fourth largest city in the country, Turin, has expanded the scope of this ban.
Similarly, other areas in Italy are also stepping up efforts to control smoking. According to the Berlin Morning Post, cities such as Modena implemented similar smoking bans in March of this year. France is also planning to implement similar smoking bans. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists must thoroughly understand the local smoking regulations before traveling.
