France Smoking Rate Falls to 15-Year Low as Vaping Climbs to 6%

France Smoking Rate Falls to 15-Year Low as Vaping Climbs to 6%
Daily smoking in France has fallen to a 15-year low of 23%, while 6% of the population now vape daily.

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.
