Ireland considers outdoor smoking ban as Milan implements one to improve air quality.

Calls to ban outdoor smoking in Ireland have grown after Milan implemented a city-wide ban to improve its "unhealthy air" quality.

The World Health Organization reports tobacco causes over eight million deaths annually.
