The Spin

Narrative A

The move is necessary to improve public health and air quality in Milan. It addresses environmental concerns and protects non-smokers from harmful passive smoke exposure in public spaces, particularly in areas frequented by children.

Narrative B

The measure is excessive and potentially harmful to businesses, with tobacco vendors expecting a 20-30% decrease in cigarette sales. Meanwhile, enforcement remains challenging without adequate controls, making it more symbolic than practical.
