Not that big a deal I suppose - heading for a cruise and wanted to pick up a bit to take onboard (I have my ways

). I could always pick some up in Barcelona, since now it is too late to order thru the cruiseline.
No worries about luggage, we travel light, and our return is non-stop CO if we decide to pick up a little extra. I just want to make sure my bags get to BCN to begin with!
Nobody noticed smoking areas in CDG? So hard being part of the minority these days.....

Yes, there is duty free for you to shop. Schengen applies to the free flow of people, not goods, so you will need to clear customs on arrival to BCN.
And sorry, I have not seen any smoking areas in CDG though you can run out for a quick one when changing terminals.
