EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — The leaders of the world's wealthiest democracies are discussing how to tackle some of the planet's biggest issues this week, but open microphones at the G7 summit revealed that their conversations also included lighter topics. Sports. Cigarettes. The weather. And something about Greenland? As world leaders made their way to conference rooms at a lakeside resort, microphones set up for their serious debates on war and trade often picked up improvised jokes. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's smoking habit was the focus of a moment caught by an open mic on Tuesday. When German Chancellor Friedrich Merz asked her if she had smoked a cigarette that morning, Meloni revealed that she hadn’t smoked “since May 1.” Her departure from tobacco prompted enthusiastic congratulations from leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union. Meloni raised her hands in celebration. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had a question for her. “Do you have a patch?” Carney asked, grabbing his own arm.
