Hi first of all sorry to the non smokers for asking but i'm afraid i'm a smoker and would love to know if the smoking ban in France, Val especially is as it is in U.K or is it more relaxed, as in are there maybe sections for smokers in bars etc?

cathyalltwen, well the bad news for smokers is that the ban is - rather surprisingly - very well observed in France, at least in the places I've been to. So wear your merino knickers so you can stand being outside in the freezing cold.

All French bars have a special section for smokers - it is called 'Outside'.

Was quite amazed to find a "Cigar Room" in the hotel in Canazei (Dolomites) that we stayed in last week.

cathyalltwen - mate of mine works out there and says that there are bars who have now got heated lamps near the entrance for the smokers outside. But the ban is exactly like in the UK, no smoking inside, if bars let you, they can loose their licence, as Val d'Isere is crawling in Gendarms they are not likely to try it on.

Technically possible under the law here as well, in fact one London club has one, but I can't recall which one at the mo, IFIRC it is for 'sampling' high cost cigars before purchase.
