Café ordered to pay €37,600

Enabling smoking comes at a price

Following a legal battle, Parisian café Zéphyr near Montmartre has been ordered to pay €37,600 to the anti-smoking campaigners Droits des non-fumeurs (DNF) for allowing customers to smoke in an enclosed terrace.

A second nearby café, le Brébant, was ordered to pay a smaller amount for not having put up no-smoking signs.
