Smoking has been banned in bars in the capitals of France and Germany but the laws will not be enforced immediately.
Eight German states, including Berlin, have ushered in 2008 declaring their pubs and restaurants smoke-free.
Almost a third of Germans smoke and the authorities in Berlin have decided not to enforce the restrictions actively for the first six months.
In France, a law forbidding smoking in public places has now been extended to bars, cafes and hotels.
