Milan Enforces Toughest Smoking Ban in Italy, Targeting Outdoor Smoking to Improve Air Quality

Credited from: SCMP

  • Milan has enacted the strictest smoking ban in Italy, prohibiting smoking in all public spaces, including streets, effective January 1, 2025.
  • Violators of the new law could face fines ranging from €40 to €240 ($41 to $249), with exceptions only for isolated areas at least 10 meters from others.
  • This move is part of a broader clean air strategy initiated by the city council, aimed at reducing pollution and protecting public health.
  • While the ban has received mixed reactions, officials argue it is crucial for improving air quality, as smoking contributes to approximately 7% of urban emissions.
  • The legislation will likely affect the upcoming Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in 2026, as the city aims to present a cleaner environment.
