Did it actually? I remember going to france like twice a year like 30 years ago. And my observation was just: everyone smokes.
When the indoor smoking ban started, i felt like people stopped. Same as over here. But now i feel like at least as many people atarted smoking again. But i haven’t really been in france again in the last 10 years.
In 2022, an estimated 16.4 million people (8.4 million males and 8.0 million females) aged 15 years and older were tobacco product users in France. This positions the country as the 14th globally and the 3rd in the WHO European Region in terms of number of tobacco users.
And as someone who works in the service business, I can confirm that there’s a decent amount of smokers.
I’m 45+ and French. This seems very misleading as smoking has been declining a lot the past couple decades.

Between 2000 and 2019 the number of cigarettes sold in France has halved.
Wtf? How much are people spending to smoke these days??
This is an official statistic from Germany, but I guess it will be similar for France. Red is female, blue is male.

Yeah it really shifted, still way too many people smoking but vaping + price hike did some good.

I don’t have stats with me and in very much biased by my experience. Around me, less than 20% smoke but I believe it’s anecdotal.
It’s quite rare seing someone with a classic cigarette.
