From the 1st of January, smoking is banned in all public places in France as well. Luckily for the smokers, the weather in the country is almost spring-like, so they can do what they like the best: sit outside their favourite cafeteria or bar, smoke, drink, and watch the world go by.

But for worst conditions, Parisian designer, Florian Brillet came up with an idea, that he calls Smoker Bell. It is indeed an adjustable hood that can be attached to a wall and hosts two persons. He didn’t forget the oh-so-important drinks stand, so at least it doesn’t look exactly like a bigger version of the old-school blow dryer bell.

“France, 1st of January…smokers get out!” writes Brillet. “This new law creates a lots of reactions (positive of course…), but also shows the need of new spaces outside bars and restaurants. SMOKER BELL is a proposal for a temporary space, which can host 2 people for coffee time and cigarette…” (dezeen)

A blog buddy says it is NOT the same. The smoky filmy haze is gone. She thinks that restaurants will frost their windows to prevent those outside from getting the clear view. Watching a woman french inhale is special. And I don't smoke!

Europe is different without the smoke, that's for sure. Watch them start putting dried ice machines up to mock the appearance hehe
