On the first day after the lifting of the eight-week general quarantine due to the coronavirus epidemic, the French set out to buy cigarettes en masse at Perthus, on the French-Spanish border, where tobacco products cost half as much as in other French municipalities.

According to French television reports on Tuesday, French smokers released from general quarantine on Monday stormed tobacco shops in the border town between Spain and the French side of the Pyrenees, and after disregarding the rules of social distance, police had to intervene.
