Milan to Ban Smoking in Outdoor Spaces Starting January 1
December 31, 2024
Starting January 1, Milan will ban smoking in outdoor spaces, becoming the first Italian city to implement this measure. The law has sparked mixed reactions, with some arguing it restricts individual freedoms, while others believe it's necessary for protecting the environment. Violators will face fines for non-compliance. The Lombardy capital has already enforced previous smoking restrictions in public areas.
