Where can I smoke in Italy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To smoke or not to smoke? T<\/strong>hat is the question! For those who smoke, there are certain times that are dedicated to ‘chimney art’: after meals, over coffee, or at a strategic stop for a drink. However, Italy, like many countries in Europe, fought a heavy battle against smoking: they restricted several places (including public ones) where smoking is allowed, increased the price of cigarettes and created very specific (and harsh) laws regarding smoking. But, anyway, where can I smoke in Italy? For those who can’t live without cigarettes, let’s talk EVERYTHING about the subject in this post!\u00a0<\/strong>Here at\u00a0Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia<\/b><\/a>\u00a0you make the trip of your dreams!!!\u00a0ALSO: see our\u00a0\u201cAccommodation in Italy \u2013 Tips for your holidays!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Where can I smoke in Italy? UNDERSTAND THE MEASURES AGAINST SMOKING IN ITALY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First of all, in 2014, Italy took heavy steps to reduce the number of smokers: it became mandatory to use ‘shocking’ images on cigarette packs along with black stripes and ‘smoking causes cancer’ phrases (among others ).\u00a0Another attitude was to increase the value of cigarettes and taxes on the product,<\/strong> banning images of people smoking on TV and in the cinema (with exceptions for international productions). They also limited the weight of tobacco per cigarette, banned the sale of flavored cigarettes (mint, cinnamon, etc.), banned advertisements in the media, created a hotline for anyone who wants to quit smoking with the number printed on all packs and packages and they also banned the sale of electronic cigarettes. In other words, they are increasingly closing in on smokers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Young Smokers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

All of this, mainly, due to the huge number of young smokers in the 90s, it is estimated that one in three Italian teenagers smoked. In the last 15 years, the number of smokers has dropped to 20% of the total population,<\/strong> but still, for the Italian Ministry of Health, the number is huge! (Italy nowadays has about 62 million inhabitants).<\/p>\n

2) Where can I smoke in Italy? LEARN THE FINES APPLIED IN ITALY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The government says the laws are not \u2018against smokers, but against cigarette smoke!\u2019 (?). There are fines for those who break the law; the values \u200b\u200bvary between 25 and 250 euros,<\/strong> and can double if the smoker is caught smoking next to a pregnant woman or a child under 12! Owners of establishments that do not respect the standard will also pay (dearly!): In case of contempt the fines can vary between 200 and 2,000 euros!<\/p>\n
