    What’s the smoking rate like? In the US, it’s pretty much non-existent in public and only done by old people stuck in their ways.

      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 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.
