Milan, Italy: Smokers in Italy's financial and fashion capital of Milan risk being fined for lighting up on city streets or crowded public areas, after the country's toughest ban came into effect on Wednesday.
Those who defy the new prohibition in the polluted northern Italian city could be fined between 40 and 240 euros ($41 to $249), a punishment that does not sit well with all residents.
"I think this measure is excessive. As long as we are talking about an indoor place, I agree. because (smoking) can be bothersome and it is not healthy," sales clerk Myrian Illiano, 21, told AFP.
"But if we are talking about an open place, I don't see why one should be restricted."
However, content creator Chiara Ciuffini, 39, was all in favour of the new move.
