The French goverment explains the introduction of a smoking ban in public places (on February 1st 2007). A website tabac.gouv.fr has been created, where you can see a video (in French) of the Health Minister, Xavier Bertrand. Also on Globalink.
I am not sure it is very convincing. There is also a video of Bertrand Dautzenberg MD. I don't think this is the adequate way to communicate: in terms of the format, the chosen spokespersons, the location, the lack of interactivity, the lack of links to other groups and stakeholders concerned that gives an unpleasant feeling of exclusion (nobody else but the officials). There will certainly be more messages...in the same style? For a more relaxed interview see this one with blogger Loic Le Meur.
