I lived in Paris for a time, I would say it is guaranteed some were smoking.

I was in CDG airport in the 90s, shortly after they introduced a smoking ban, and gasping for a fag. So I went over to a check-in desk and asked the woman where the nearest smoking area was. She gave me a Gallic shrug and gestured to indicate the entire airport.

That was pretty normal behaviour across Europe right after those bans were invoked. Which happened decades ago, and has nothing to do with the Notre Dame fire.
