Every western government is scared of opposing Israel since WW2. It's absurd.

The problem is that inconsiderate smokers are actively hurting the health of the people suffering from their inconsideration. Passive smoking is a thing, and it has long term consequences.
So while it sucks for the individual freedom of considerate smokers like yourself, banning public smoking protects a lot of people who get their health damaged by what is in my experience in France most of the smokers. And protection is one of the purposes of the law.

I honestly don't understand why it's not already the norm. We've got plenty of great providers in Europe.

I don't believe ECIs ever get a lot of media coverage, sadly.
Most people don't even know they can start/participate in ECIs and have their opinion taken into account at a european level. Best we can do is share the platform and make sure as many people as possible know about it.
