Milan has implemented a groundbreaking ordinance banning smoking outdoors unless individuals are at least 33 feet away from others. This law, which came into effect on January 1, is a continuation of Italy's gradual smoking restrictions in indoor venues. With Milan being a cultural and fashion hub, this initiative aims to promote health by reducing smoking and secondhand smoke exposure while encouraging smokers to be more conscious of their habits. As Milan prepares for high-profile events, including fashion week, the city's landscape will change dramatically, reflecting a commitment to public health.
Under the new rules, which went into effect Jan. 1, smoking is banned everywhere except for isolated areas where it's possible to respect a distance of at least 33 feet from other people.
Milan's deputy mayor, Anna Scavuzzo, said, 'People will smoke a little less, which is good for their health and everybody's health, and those who don't smoke will be less exposed to secondhand smoke.'
