Public kissing has been banned in France to prevent spreading the swine flu virus.

The government has advised people to stop kissing each other on each cheek when they meet. Health officials are warning that the traditional pecks increase the risk of passing on the virus.

Experts are also telling people to avoid shaking hands and caressing others' faces - and have advised everyone to keep a "3ft buffer zone" around themselves.
