Smoking on the decline and vaping on the rise in France

Between the decline in smoking and the increase in the number of vapers, here is a breakdown of this study that sheds light on data about addictions and the consumption of legal and illegal psychoactive substances.

A positive assessment of smoking figures in France

According to the OFDT report, young people are twice as unlikely to smoke in 2024 compared to 2014.

Daily consumption of tobacco products stood at 28.5% in 2014, compared to less than 23.1% in 2023. This decline in smoking is particularly notable among teenagers under 17 (31.5% of smokers in 2011 compared to 15.6% in 2022).

Adults are also affected by this decline in smoking, driven by anti-tobacco policies implemented by the government and the rise in tobacco product prices.

A sharp rise in the use of e-cigarettes

The study by the French Observatory for Drugs and Addictive Trends (OFDT) points out that alongside the decrease in the number of smokers, a significant increase in vapers is underway.

It appears that the e-cigarette is the most popular means for quitting traditional cigarettes. In 10 years, young people who vape have doubled in number. Between 2014 and 2022, young vapers went from 2.5% to 6.2%.

The e-cigarette, an effective tool for getting rid of tobacco

Initially motivated by financial reasons, smokers who give up traditional cigarettes in favor of e-cigarettes also appreciate having made this choice for their health.

The e-cigarette presents itself as an effective tool in a smoking cessation approach, particularly thanks to its cost being much lower than that of traditional cigarettes. Although the initial purchase of an e-cigarette may require an investment, its long-term maintenance costs remain much lower than buying cigarettes.

But the e-cigarette is above all a far less harmful alternative for health than traditional tobacco. Indeed, the e-cigarette produces neither tar nor carbon monoxide, two of the most dangerous substances found in cigarette smoke. Furthermore, vaping allows you to regulate nicotine consumption, thus facilitating the cessation process.

A classic or fruity flavored e-liquid

To get started with the e-cigarette, it is often recommended to choose a classic flavored e-liquid, which mimics the traditional cigarette. This way, the first-time vaper enjoys an authentic vaping experience that reminds them of their old habits. For classic blond lovers, discover the e-liquid Le TB USA or the TB Virginie by Le Vapoteur Discount.
