Martin Pánek of the Institute of Liberal Studies, featured on Czech Radio Plus, critiques France’s July 2025 smoking ban on beaches and parks, arguing it’s excessive regulation despite protecting children. He advocates personal responsibility over bans in open spaces, while doctor Kamila Zvolská supports the measure, citing WHO data linking smoking to premature deaths, though both note its limited impact on quitting rates.
