PARIS -- France has struggled to kick its smoking habit. A new public health decree published Saturday aims to change that. In the coming days, smoking will be banned in all French parks and sports venues, at beaches and bus stops, in a perimeter around all schools, and anywhere children could gather in public.

A new smoking ban took effect on Tuesday in France, barring smokers from lighting up in outdoor places where children are likely to gather, including beaches and parks. CBS News foreign correspondent Ramy Inocencio has more details.
