Italy: Milan Rings in New Year 2025 With Outdoor Smoking Ban, Fines Up To $240 | Firstpost America

Italy's Milan has implemented a strict ban on outdoor smoking in public spaces, marking the toughest step yet in its ongoing efforts to improve air quality and protect non-smokers. Effective January 1, 2025, the citywide ban applies to streets, parks, and other public areas, with exceptions only for isolated spaces. Violators face fines ranging from $40 to $240. The move builds on Milan’s phased restrictions since 2021 and coincides with preparations for the 2026 Winter Olympics. While e-cigarettes remain exempt, the ban reflects a broader global trend toward smoke-free living, positioning Milan as a cleaner, healthier city for its residents and visitors. Watch the video to know more.
