I believe Norway is the second European country, after Ireland, to ban smoking in public places. This commenced with bars and restaurants from mid 2004 as indicated on the poster, and is now applicable to all public indoor places.
Italy has followed suit and France will early next year:
France, the country that produced iconic chain-smokers from Jean-Paul Sartre to Jean-Paul Belmondo, will ban smoking in public places from early next year. Cigarettes will immediately be banned from places such as offices, universities and railway stations starting in February, but cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs could be given an extra year to prepare.
