Despite my dire prophecy that France would be the last country on earth to ban smoking in public places, the day has come (well, it will come on Thursday) when smoking in public places is officially banned. All except bars, cafés, restaurants, tabacs (little shops which sell cigarettes) and night clubs, which have until next year to implement the ban. So I won't be changing the name of my blog for the moment, the official re-naming ceremony will have to wait until 2008.
In the meantime I will try to stop myself from preaching self-righteously to inconsiderate smokers and I will continue to enjoy my fabulous French cuisine accompanied by a light haze of nicotine.
