I need help to correct the mistakes. I translated an article from French to English...

No smoke at work. A two stage application.

Thereafter are the main measures concerning the smoking ban in public areas starting from February 1, 2007, announced by Dominique de Villepin on Sunday night to the Great Jury composed of RTL, LCI, and “Le Figaro”:

• Ban. – The tobacco will be forbidden with a decree in every public areas such as schools, colleges, shops, and companies from February 1, 2007, except for bars, tobacco stores, restaurants, and night clubs, which will have to adapt themselves before January 1, 2008. Beyond January 1, 2008, these places must have installed “purely regulated smoking rooms in which the staff won’t have the possibility to go in and be able to serve drinks.” The companies can also install standard smoking areas defined by the decree that will be ready in November in order to observe the three month deadline required for its application.

• Fines. – A fixed-sum fine of 75 euros will be given to the individual ban (this is redundant) offenders (les particuliers contrevenant à l’interdiction), a fine that will increase to 150 euros for the heads of companies.

• Support. – The State will release 100 million euros dedicated to the repayment of a third of the treatments (nicotine patchs, gums, or medications) and the doubling of consultations for smoking cessation and help to associations. “Alternative solutions” will be proposed to maintain the concerned professionals’ revenue. On Thursday, the Minister of Commerce announced in front of the annual Congress of tobacconists the renegotiation of the “contract for future” (contrat d’avenir) which was signed in 2003 to support the profession.
This plan that granted 160 million Euros of assistance in 2005, will end on December 31, 2007, but will be renegotiated: it will have to assure the “durability of the financial help,” especially to the border tobacconists (buralistes frontaliers), consider the payment of tobacconists for the sale of tobacco products, and establish an assistance for the modernization from next year, in order to make the inhabitants diversify their activities. Since 2003, the sales of tobacco have decrease of 32%. In total, 1500 tobacco offices closed, especially the ones near the borders.

Thanks for your help!
