enjoy riots even bigger than when they raised the retirement age
Yeah ok I assume French people being really into cigarettes is just an outdated stereotype anyways
23.1% of the French population smokes daily
What the fuck.
everywhere in europe smells like cigarettes... everywhere
Honestly, every time I step out of my rural house I’m over come by a wave of cigarette smoke…I can’t even see.
yeesh, wonder what the cancer rates are like
I only know non smokers who died of the lung cancer. When we smoke for a long time, our doctors say quitting is lethal. I shit you not. My uncle smoked 3 packs a day and doctor told him stopping would kill him. Dude died holding his hand like he holds a cigarette.
shit, I wonder what the COPD rates are like.
europeans smoke a lot in general, even younger euros like under 15 ones. There was like a short period where it was not trendy anymore and people started switching to vapes or quit smoking all together, but cigarettes came back into fashion again.
And that's not even the highest numbers in Europe. You want some heavy smokers? Look at Eastern Europe.

You should look at how many percentage in the purchase taxe revenu in China does tobacco occupies
"France loses its national identity" was not in my bingo card for today
France demolishes Eiffel tower, announces all mines must be shot on sight
This is basically aimed at preventing second hand smoking for children, so its public places where children tend to be.
Good honestly
There will be riots. Depriving a F*ench of their cigarettes is like depriving a fish of its water.
Isn't the word cigarette french?
Might as well be, they earned it.
“-ette” is french and is used to indicate smaller than the normal. A cigarette is a smaller cigar. “-chen” is used in a similar context in german for example.
The suffix ette implies feminity which then extends to the sixe thing. Cause girls couldn't handle cigars they made cigarettes and then cigarettes were what was shipped in your rations in ww1 and 2 and then that's what dudes smoked too.
Damn, now you're going to have to have multiple affairs just to have places to light up throughout the day.
I don't live in France. But Jesus fucking Christ I hate people deciding it's OK to light one up next to me in a queue or outdoor seating.
tbh, it's wild to me that people still smoke at all in the covid era, let alone in public and around other people.
French culture destroyed by le wokisme
What's next, banning berets and baguettes? You're making these miserable people's lives already worse!
They should ban grooming in university, number of people failing their degree will skyrocket
they're going to require a license to griller du pain dans votre propre grille-pain
I remember being in Spain shortly after they banned smoking indoors. I was in a bar with friends, where people were still smoking, when a couple of cops walk in. There was a tense moment before both cops pulled out cigarettes and started smoking inside too, lmao
Making 23% of the population grumpy as fuck from no nicotine hit might make some crazy shit happen
nooooon Le Wokisme strikes again hon hon hon this iz le totalitarianism
Weed has won the war on smoking.
France has fallen
how will the french national identity survive?
Hon hon hon itz tiem for de guillotine, zey took Mon cigarette
This happened in my town the same day weed got legalized and the cops put out a statement to the press that they couldn't and won't enforce it. I smoke so I like the a ility to do so and if cars are allowed outside then I don't see why smoking shouldn't be.
Neither should be
Cars are only allowed inside an enclosed garage now
Is this was Macron's wife was mad about on the plane?
valid
Sacre bleu! 
I sense a riot in the near future.
its macrover
If a nation's vice to civility is hampered wouldn't there be more incivility in it's wake?
so that's how france solves deficit issues
Big Juul has gotten to Macron
The real reason why Macron got slapped
Next they'll ban

Based. Paris must smell of weed
France has pretty harsh laws against cannabis and macron is such a boomer that he won't do anything about it except show propganda of "WEED KILLS BABIES WITH FIRE" (can't find the video in question rn but it was very cringe)
