Beaches, parks, and public spaces too,
Will be smoke-free, that's what they'll do,
Tobacco must disappear from view,
Where children breathe, that's what they'll pursue.

Catherine Vautrin said with a grin,
"The freedom to smoke must end within,
Where the freedom of children to breathe fresh air begins,
Is where the ban will start, no need to whine."

But break the rules, and you'll pay the fee,
