France marks a success in the fight against tobacco.

QNgTV - France is recording remarkable results in the fight against tobacco, with the rate of daily smokers continuing to fall to record lows after years of aggressive implementation of public health policies.

France has achieved success in its fight against tobacco.

Specifically, the amount of legally sold cigarettes at licensed tobacco shops is projected to decrease by 8.2% in 2025 compared to the previous year, to approximately 30,165 tons. This marks the second consecutive year of significant cigarette sales decline in France, following a decrease of around 12% in 2024.

According to the report, less than 20% of adults aged 18-75 in France smoke daily – the lowest level since 2000. This positive result is particularly evident among young French people. While in 2010, about 35% of high school students in the country smoked daily, that figure has now dropped to around 5.6%.

This success reflects the effectiveness of France's persistent anti-tobacco strategy implemented over many years. The French government has continuously increased tobacco taxes, expanded smoke-free zones, tightened advertising regulations, and intensified media campaigns about the harmful effects of tobacco.

However, French authorities are still warning of new challenges, particularly the increasing use of e-cigarettes among young people, with around 4% of high school students in France now using e-cigarettes daily.
