FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Is France really a chain-smoking nation?” – below is their description.
When you think about a stereotypical French person, you might picture them wearing a beret, with a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other. But does #France deserve this chain-smoking reputation? While many tourists say it’s one of the first culture shocks they notice, statistics show the number of smokers in France is dropping dramatically. So what steps has the French government taken to get people to stop #smoking? And if more and more people are quitting, why is the cliché so hard to stamp out? In this episode of #FrenchConnections Plus, Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula take a puff of France’s smoking culture.
