In Italy, since twenty years, smoking has been prohibited anywhere indoors. But now a new decree law is about to be introduced, which would extend this ban to many outdoor places as well. The key point of the decree will be to completely ban smoking if there are children or pregnant women nearby. The extension of the bans would concern also the electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products. Further restrictions should then cover the possibility of smoking in railway stations, bus stops and also at ferry landings.
