Milan on Tuesday went smoking free
in parks and other public spaces.
A new air-quality norm also bans smoking at bus stops, stadiums
and sporting facilities, cemeteries and dog-walking areas.
But it will still be possible to smoke in these places if you
are at least 10 metres away from other people, the regulation
approved in November says.
On January 1 2025 the ban will be extended to all public spaces.
Milan is one of the northern heavily industrialised Italian
cities where smog is the worst.
Car-free Sundays and spells of alternating-license-plate bans
are fairly frequent there.
