烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译　　据Expatica France引用法新社的一篇报道称，在6月10日法国首轮立法选举到来之际，法国新成立的烟民权益游说团体希望引起准政客的注意。

　　成立的成年烟民权利联盟（UDFA），是为了捍卫吸烟者的权利不受法国政府实施的被他们认为是不公平的遏制措施的影响。

　　成年烟民权利联盟称它代表着1,250万的潜在选民，力图抗议禁烟区范围的扩大及不断上涨的卷烟价格。

　　联合会主席娜塔莉·玛斯龙（Nathalie Masseron）对法新社称，该团体希望维护吸烟者的自由。

　　她说，“我们被禁止进入露天咖啡馆，有些人希望阻止我们进入有儿童的公园，有些酒店是无烟酒店；不久后吸烟者将不能租房子了，甚至还有禁止开车时吸烟的言论。”

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.
