煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　據Expatica France引用法新社的一篇報道稱，在6月10日法國首輪立法選舉到來之際，法國新成立的煙民權益游說團體希望引起準政客的注意。

　　成立的成年煙民權利聯盟（UDFA），是為了捍衛吸煙者的權利不受法國政府實施的被他們認為是不公平的遏制措施的影響。

　　成年煙民權利聯盟稱它代表著1,250萬的潛在選民，力圖抗議禁煙區范圍的擴大及不斷上漲的卷煙價格。

　　聯合會主席娜塔莉·瑪斯龍（Nathalie Masseron）對法新社稱，該團體希望維護吸煙者的自由。

　　她說，“我們被禁止進入露天咖啡館，有些人希望阻止我們進入有兒童的公園，有些酒店是無煙酒店；不久后吸煙者將不能租房子了，甚至還有禁止開車時吸煙的言論。”

France's smoker lobby group eyes elections?

　　Jun 6, 2012—With the first round of France's legislative election due on June 10, the country's newly-formed pro-smokers' lobby group is hoping to catch the attention of would-be politicians, according to an Expatica France story quoting an AFP report.

　　The Union for the Rights of Adult Smokers (UDFA) was formed to defend smokers' rights against what the group perceives to be unfair curbs imposed by the state.

　　The UDFA says it represents a potential 12.5 million voters and intends to fight against the spread of no-smoking zones and rising cigarette prices.

　　Chairwoman, Nathalie Masseron, was said to have told AFP that the group wanted to defend smokers' freedoms.

　　"We are being barred from café terraces, some want to ban us from parks with children, some hotels are non-smoking; soon a smoker won't be able to rent a flat, and there's even talk of banning smoking while you drive," she said.
