The number of regular smokers in France has hit a 15-year low, according to Santé Publique France. Currently, 23% of French adults smoke daily, down from 25% in 2021 and 29% in 2016, RTL reported on November 20th.
"This is the first time we've seen the daily smoking population drop below a quarter. This is a highly motivating and significant figure for us. Tobacco remains France’s leading killer and a major cause of chronic diseases," said Dr. Emmanuel Ricard, spokesperson for the French Anti-Cancer League.
The French Anti-Cancer League also noted that cigarette sales dropped by 14% between 2021 and 2023, while vape usage increased. Currently, 6% of the population vapes daily, compared to just 3% eight years ago.
