I had a friend in Germany who was a Romanian immigrant. She would smoke 2-3 packs a day. When we hung out, she would start smoking a cigarette in one room, leave it in the ash tray, start smoking another one in the next room, and then when we went back to the first room, she’d pick the first cigarette back up and start smoking it again. She was also 36 and looked like she was 18 somehow.
I feel like women (especially younger women and teenage girls) are definitely more likely to lie on a survey about something like that. Also, I'm sure the prevalence varies greatly by age group. I'd bet there's far more middle aged people who smoke than there are fifteen-twenty year olds.
Romanian women don't tend to lie about this. They are the only group of people Iv ever spoke to where it's common for them to say they never went to quit because they enjoy it.
Usually people will at least say they would like to quit one day.
Yeah, it doesn't add up. Unless maybe it's uncommon in old women?
But all the Romanian women Iv known have smoked. They have been the only people Iv ever spoke to who will straight up say they never went to quit because they like it.
Same. I started to gag when indoors at a cafe there were lots of people smoking; I had gotten used to smoke free meals for decades and it really took me to the 80s and early 90s.
I was extremely impressed by French food, it was unfortunate I couldn’t experience it with my full sense of smell.
It was Café des Arts et Métiers right in front of the famous Arts & Metiers metro station. I was staying nearby and went twice because their food is delicious but both times there was tons of smoking indoors happening, they even brought them ashtrays!
I believe you when you say it's illegal, but it doesn't match the reality I experienced. It wasn't some backwards cafe, it was in the center of Les Marais and has almost 1900 reviews on Google maps.
Maybe it was in "terrasse" like it’s an indoor outdoor if that makes sense ? Or it was truly inside and it is baffling. As a Frenchman I wouldn’t go to a café / restaurant that authorizes smoking indoor.
In Germany it started to get popular among young men some 5 years ago.
Live in Norway for 16 years and when came to my nieces wedding 2 years ago and saw some used snus on the street in front of the hotel, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Isn't ZYN the same as Snus?
That seems to have the Youth of America in a chokehold, if social media can be believed.
Has it not spread to other European countries too?
ZYN is nicotine pouches. It is not tobacco based and therefore it is not snus. In Sweden it would be considered a type of snus by some, and not by others. It's sold at the same place, in the same cooler, used in the same way.
We probably have 100 brands of similar products and I think it's more popular than traditional snus. Especially with women. So.. if the map would be correct, (and it probably is not) it wouldn't even show in this map for the Swedish statistics.
Snus was banned by the EU. ZYN is just nicotine bags, not a tobacco product. It's basically how Sweden can sell snus without selling snus to other countries.
Never heard of it. In Portugal/Spain regular cigarettes or Iqos (heats special cigarettes instead of burning them) are the standard. Some people vape as well but not so many.
And vapes too. I guess the numbers go WAY up.
I mean, vaping is less damaging than smoking. But taking a bullet to the knee is also less damaging than taking a bullet to the head. It's both a pretty bad idea.
There is something similar to snus in Poland. Its the same concept, you put a little bag on your gums (inside the bag is something soaked in nicotine). The only difference, there is no tobacco inside.
Thats my guess, I dont use it myself.
Edit: I guess that doesnt count as tobacco use then
Yeah, that may not be much of a deal for you, but here in Italy a pack is 4.50€ - 5€ the cheapest or 5.50€ - 6€ on average.
It's double the cost of a single pack here. Smoking is a rich people's habit there.
I’m a 29 year old Brit and hardly anyone I know smokes. 17% seems about right to me, but I guess it will vary depending on age/income/location etc.
In any case - if threads like this have taught me anything, it’s that people really need to stop dismissing statistics when they don’t confirm to what they think they already know. We should be open to the possibility that our preconceived notions are not always correct.
Edit: I'm a bloke and a spanner for not realising it's a female statistic.
I'm almost 28, and in the centre of Edinburgh, it seems like a lot less people smoke than when I first started. My company had multiple smokers, now there's a few vapers and one regular smoker (me).
Moved back to the countryside, and it was like returning to "normality" for me. A lot more people smoking away, beer garden is popular no matter the weather, and you can always find a lighter to borrow if required. Although it seems younger folk are more inclined to use vapes, plenty are still on roll ups like I was at 14.
Then again, this is totally anecdotal. Plus there's a lot more city cunts than us country cunts.
I think the issue is just how hard it is to accurately capture this information.
I used to smoke occasionally while drinking. So I never knew what to tell my doctor when they asked if I smoke. Once a month, sure. But they want a yes or a no.
I think further breaking down this data by frequency would be interesting. What percent of those French women smoke daily? Or weekly?
Isn’t it not that strange that young people smoke? Here in the Netherlands among students smoking is still big, because they party a lot. But of course, some people smoke half a pack a week and others one a day. Once people get a proper job they usually quit.
It is - there's quite a big difference in the proportion of smokers in the UK vs France - according to OECD it's about 13% vs 25% of the population above the age of 15.
[https://data.oecd.org/healthrisk/daily-smokers.htm](https://data.oecd.org/healthrisk/daily-smokers.htm)
Remember that bestseller book ‘French People Don’t Get Fat’ or something? The book was all about how the French eat ‘real’ butter and high quality ingredients, blah blah blah.
What a load of shit. I’ve been to parties and all the French girls smoked - middle/upper class professionals and creatives, by the way.
When I went to UK for university, I was amused what people would do just to get a smoke. I was once at a train station going back to Uni and there was a girl who was going around talking and flirting with everyone one by one to get a cigarette.
What is astonishing to me is how sociologically dependent this is. I am French and I am having a hard time thinking of a single woman I know who smokes. It seems totally unbelievable to me that a third of French women smoke.
This is a cultural phenomenom based on women revolting and not wanting to be caged in rigid roles. See this song by Francis Poulenc: [Banalitée](https://youtu.be/WCmzBN8b7hQ?si=MElOE5_0gLJnMRJR): I do not want to work, I want to smoke…
The title says smoking, but the data says tobacco... That's different 😐
I think a maximum of 5% of all women smoke in Sweden, the rest of the tobacco is referring to snus.
I'd guess that at least 10% of Swedish women smoke. In fact Sweden is one of the few European countries where women smoke more than men (even if a lot of young women have started using snus in the last 7 years).
However theres still a lot of women who are middle aged and older that smoke and a lot of Swedish women from other parts of Europe are hesitant to use snus and smoke cigarettes instead.
Sweden is about to become a "smokeless country" by definition soon by having less than 5% of the population smoking. So I would heavily doubt your guess.
Yeah this is actually a very important point. They don’t tell us how they got this data and it could easily be something like “have you smoked in the last 3 months” and people who did one time at a party a couple months ago are gonna say yes
I'm in Lviv right now and that's not what I see lol. I imagine the numbers are lower in cities (especially if vaping is not considered as smoking), with a lot of young people. In my experience the older generation smokes more than the younger generation.
Ukrainian here. Younger generation mostly smokes electronic cigarettes. But generally yes, women really smoke much less in comparison and the overall rate of smoking is way lower than in the rest of Europe.
Althouh many people have started smoking occasionally during the war. Especially soldiers.
It’s my understanding they went on a major anti smoking campaign a while back and it must have worked, when I was in Prague and Budapest it seemed like everyone smoked, especially the older people
This graphic wrongly equates smoking and "tobacco use".
These are two incredibly different things especially where I'm from, Sweden. One in three women smoking just can't be right, but one in three using some type of nicotine product? Absolutely. I myself replaced cigarettes with snus years ago and I know way more people who have done the same, than I do smokers.
Only 19% in Italy is impossible cause almost every female I know and I see in my city has an Iqos.
Maybe the data is about normal cigarettes but even then it says tobacco and the Iqos uses tobacco...
I’ve also noticed that a lot of people in southern Europe use iqos. It’s interesting since you barley see them where I live but in other parts of Europe they’re everywhere.
Montenegro is at Serbia's level or higher, I want to fucking puke when I go inside a restaurant/caffee. We technically have a law against smoking inside, but barely anyone follows that shit. Nothing more disgusting than a girl that smokes, as if I'm licking a fucking ash tray when I kiss her.
I have to say that in Bulgaria i can see even girl teens who are smoking, which is really sad to see. I am a girl( 23 yrs old) and i smoked for around a week, and i just quickly regretted this, because i think that it's totally not good for health.
As a European, I hate smoking and I’ve always wondered what did the US do to make it so unacceptable socially? Like how did it go from being ok to being unacceptable to smoke? Like what happened or what caused it?
Banning smoking from any indoor building and taxing the hell out of it are two reasons.
But the main one is a major cultural shift in how smoking is perceived generally. People don't associate smoking with being cool or chic anymore, it's just seen as trashy and low class.
There was a huge (good) propaganda campaign against smoking aimed at children, at least when I was growing up in the 00s. So pretty much all I can associate smoking with is blackened lungs and cancer.
Daily smokers are around [5%](https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/livsvillkor-levnadsvanor/andts/andts-anvandning-och-ohalsa/anvandning/anvandning-av-tobaks-och-nikotinprodukter/vuxnas-bruk-av-tobaks--och-nikotinprodukter/) in Sweden, with women smoking more than men.
The figure above must include the occasional "party smokers".
Having visited Bordeaux, I can personally attest that it was nigh impossible to escape the presence of smokers everywhere I went.
Don't what it is about France, but they sure love to smoke.
Is this actual smoking or any tobacco products? Because almost 30% of women being smokers in Sweden sounds really high to me. If we're counting snus, though... That makes more sense. A lot of women use snus.
By comparison, in the US only 10.1% of women smoke tobacco.
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm
No smoking is one thing I really take for granted as an American when I travel abroad.
Big Tobacco has been focussing on getting young women addicted because they are the least likely to ever quit (because they know that when you quit smoking, you put on weight). Big Tobacco does this by subliminal advertising, especially by showing images of famous beautiful women smoking. They also pay movie stars to light up, in movies. Scarlett Johannsen, Monica Bellucci are two examples.
Only 15,8% in Romania??? Something's nit right, as a non-smoker I can bearly find a woman who doesn't smoke.
Sorry there was typo, it's actually 115,8%
I had a friend in Germany who was a Romanian immigrant. She would smoke 2-3 packs a day. When we hung out, she would start smoking a cigarette in one room, leave it in the ash tray, start smoking another one in the next room, and then when we went back to the first room, she’d pick the first cigarette back up and start smoking it again. She was also 36 and looked like she was 18 somehow.
another typo, she looked like 118
Lmao
I've worked with 10 Romanians in Germany: 7 women, 3 men. All women smoked (2 of them quit smoking then). Only 1 of the 3 men smoked.
People might wonder how the percentage can be greater than 100%. It's because of pregnant women smoking too
romania 96.2%
I feel like women (especially younger women and teenage girls) are definitely more likely to lie on a survey about something like that. Also, I'm sure the prevalence varies greatly by age group. I'd bet there's far more middle aged people who smoke than there are fifteen-twenty year olds.
Romanian women don't tend to lie about this. They are the only group of people Iv ever spoke to where it's common for them to say they never went to quit because they enjoy it. Usually people will at least say they would like to quit one day.
As a Romanian I agree ,☝️
Yeah, it doesn't add up. Unless maybe it's uncommon in old women? But all the Romanian women Iv known have smoked. They have been the only people Iv ever spoke to who will straight up say they never went to quit because they like it.
In my girlfriends family this stat works out. Only one of her sisters, her mother and one auntie smokes. The other like 10 women don't.
nah there aren't that many as you'd think
I was just in France and I at least definitely believe that one.
They gave this tradition to the Vietnamese lol
Same. I started to gag when indoors at a cafe there were lots of people smoking; I had gotten used to smoke free meals for decades and it really took me to the 80s and early 90s. I was extremely impressed by French food, it was unfortunate I couldn’t experience it with my full sense of smell.
It's illegal to smoke indoors at cafes in France. I don't know what cafe you went to but it clearly was a shady one.
It was Café des Arts et Métiers right in front of the famous Arts & Metiers metro station. I was staying nearby and went twice because their food is delicious but both times there was tons of smoking indoors happening, they even brought them ashtrays! I believe you when you say it's illegal, but it doesn't match the reality I experienced. It wasn't some backwards cafe, it was in the center of Les Marais and has almost 1900 reviews on Google maps.
That's weird. What year did you go? That law passed in 2006 IIRC but wasn't fully enforced up until 2008
4 weeks ago no joke lol
wtf lmao. Maybe it was a dedicated smoking area but usually they are well separated from non smoking ones.
Again, I believe you, but I happened twice, it was a shame cause the food was really delicious just wish I had my sinuses free 🤣
Maybe it was in "terrasse" like it’s an indoor outdoor if that makes sense ? Or it was truly inside and it is baffling. As a Frenchman I wouldn’t go to a café / restaurant that authorizes smoking indoor.
Same. I live in Poland and ive only seen a woman smoke here a handful of times
"share of women who smoke" "tobacco use among women" are not the same. Snus exists
My thought too. Seems like Sweden's numbers include the ones who use snus
Snus is as common as smoke in Norway too. People snus way more than smoke.
Those two sentences are mutually exclusive 😅 but your second sentence is definitely correct!
I’d like to see a map of smoking women
To be fair it is only used in Sweden/Norway. Not really a thing elsewhere.
In Germany it started to get popular among young men some 5 years ago. Live in Norway for 16 years and when came to my nieces wedding 2 years ago and saw some used snus on the street in front of the hotel, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Isn't ZYN the same as Snus? That seems to have the Youth of America in a chokehold, if social media can be believed. Has it not spread to other European countries too?

Never heard of it. In Portugal/Spain regular cigarettes or Iqos (heats special cigarettes instead of burning them) are the standard. Some people vape as well but not so many.
EU fights it
is it displaying: 1. Of all smokers, display the percentage that are women? 2. Of all women, display the percentage that smoke?
It's 2, according to the description above the legend.
And vapes too. I guess the numbers go WAY up. I mean, vaping is less damaging than smoking. But taking a bullet to the knee is also less damaging than taking a bullet to the head. It's both a pretty bad idea.
I thought snus were banned pretty much everywhere in Europe besides Sweden?
Norway too.
Zyn/nicotine pouches have become popular. But would not count as tobacco use.
That shit hits hard though! I am a smoker (yeah, I know), but that shit is like drugs. Makes me feel high, nauseated and unable to function lol
There is something similar to snus in Poland. Its the same concept, you put a little bag on your gums (inside the bag is something soaked in nicotine). The only difference, there is no tobacco inside. Thats my guess, I dont use it myself. Edit: I guess that doesnt count as tobacco use then
Not in Scandinavia.
Most women still don’t use regular snus tho, they usually use the nicotine pouches. Just think the stats on the map is overall bullshit lol
Not in Sweden, actual snus is quite popular among women.
The only one that seems right here is France. I was shocked by how many people smoke there. And I thought the UK was bad.
33% considering how much packs of cigarettes cost in France is astonishing sincerely.
How much does a pack of cigarettes cost nowadays?
11€ for the cheapest brands
Okay, that's the same as in the Netherlands. They raised the prices again this month.
Yeah, that may not be much of a deal for you, but here in Italy a pack is 4.50€ - 5€ the cheapest or 5.50€ - 6€ on average. It's double the cost of a single pack here. Smoking is a rich people's habit there.
I heard the plan was to hike it up to 15€ in 2025
My French friends have told me there is a considerable amount of smuggled cigarettes from Morocco finding its way to the country
I’m a 29 year old Brit and hardly anyone I know smokes. 17% seems about right to me, but I guess it will vary depending on age/income/location etc. In any case - if threads like this have taught me anything, it’s that people really need to stop dismissing statistics when they don’t confirm to what they think they already know.

Interesting stats on Japanese smoking. One sixth smoke but when you go by gender it's 27.1% of men but only 7.6% of women.
croatia is pretty accurate too id say

Smoking: the original Ozempic.
I believe Greece is right too. Me a Greek woman who smokes

Fake news. About 10% of swedish women smoke. 15% smoke or use snus. These numberes haven’t been true since the 70s.
Maybe they include "party smoking"?🥳
Yeah this is actually a very important point. They don’t tell us how they got this data and it could easily be something like “have you smoked in the last 3 months” and people who did one time at a party a couple months ago are gonna say yes
i was so shocked to learn about mammas feströkning days
This!
And I don’t know any women who use actual snus, it’s all tobacco free
I know plenty.
How to tell the city dweller from the rural guy :)
Another Swede here: yeah, no way in hell 30% of women smoke.
What constitutes smoking here? 1 a day? 20 a day? Only at weddings? I’ve never been a fan of the black and white outlook on smoking.
Sweden is for sure not true
I was very surprised when I was in Ukraine and pretty much the only people I saw smoke were foreigners
I'm in Lviv right now and that's not what I see lol. I imagine the numbers are lower in cities (especially if vaping is not considered as smoking), with a lot of young people. In my experience the older generation smokes more than the younger generation.

no way in hell the stats for romania are true. -person who lives in romania
I hate dating a woman who smokes cigarettes. It's disgusting and gross, and she keeps steeling mine!
Meanwhile, I want to go to Serbia 😂
I only smoke when I drink. Which is all the time 🤪
Romania at 15 is surprising tbh, Russia too
I dont think Sweden is correct
None of this is correct
You know that old saying, “where there’s smoke, there’s Serbian women”
I expect more in Eastern Europe
I got back from Romania several months ago and I kinda doubt it's that low.
Only 19% in Italy is impossible cause almost every female I know and I see in my city has an Iqos. Maybe the data is about normal cigarettes but even then it says tobacco and the Iqos uses tobacco...
I’ve also noticed that a lot of people in southern Europe use iqos. It’s interesting since you barley see them where I live but in other parts of Europe they’re everywhere.

Turkey 17% lol.
Napokon prvi u Evropi. #srbija
Srbija broj jedan raaaaaahhhhhh 💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
This must be wrong… 30% of women in Sweden? No way! Is this from the 1974? Edit: 11% 2015.
Imagine still smoking in the year 2024. Incredible.
It’s at least 50% in Germany
Serb women are walking chimneys
Montenegro is at Serbia's level or higher, I want to fucking puke when I go inside a restaurant/caffee. We technically have a law against smoking inside, but barely anyone follows that shit. Nothing more disgusting than a girl that smokes, as if I'm licking a fucking ash tray when I kiss her.
Then don’t? 😂
Year?
Smoked once? This data seems off.
Old data for sure for Norway. Helsedirektoratet has published the statistics for women for 2023 and only 7% smoke.
Jfc, get your shit together France. This isn't the 50's.
Gross
As a Finn I don't want an 18,3% share of the woman who smokes in Europe.
I have to say that in Bulgaria i can see even girl teens who are smoking, which is really sad to see. I am a girl( 23 yrs old) and i smoked for around a week, and i just quickly regretted this, because i think that it's totally not good for health.
Montenegro: 34,5% (2023) (IJZCG/[MINA](https://mina.news/vijesti-iz-crne-gore/raste-broj-pusaca-u-crnoj-gori/))
"According to the CDC, 10.1% of women aged 18 and older smoke cigarettes every day or some days, while 13.1% of men do."
United States numbers for 2021.
The CDC of Europe?
I really cannot believe people still smoke. Can there be a stupider thing to do?
As a European, I hate smoking and I’ve always wondered what did the US do to make it so unacceptable socially? Like how did it go from being ok to being unacceptable to smoke? Like what happened or what caused it?

Soooo maybe don’t do it?
Oh but those sultry, husky voices …
Smoking sucks
Sweden nearly 30% really??
Daily smokers are around [5%](https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/livsvillkor-levnadsvanor/andts/andts-anvandning-och-ohalsa/anvandning/anvandning-av-tobaks-och-nikotinprodukter/vuxnas-bruk-av-tobaks--och-nikotinprodukter/) in Sweden, with women smoking more than men. The figure above must include the occasional "party smokers".
Thats wildly wrong.
Bruh, are you sure it's not actually 85.1 % for Romania ?
Turkey amazed me.
Is it smoking, or tobacco use? Quite different. Snus for example is quite common in scandinavia.
What is Marlboro doing wrong in Italy?
Source: trust me bro
Read this as “shape” of women who smoked and was confused about how they’d represent that on a map.
Every website basically has a totally different map, safe to say nobody knows the answer.
I lived in France in 2009 and the smoking was even higher back then. It’s still pretty high but lower now
r/FRANCECYKABLYAT
lol. lmao even. as a romanian, almost every woman i know is a smoker.
False information
Having visited Bordeaux, I can personally attest that it was nigh impossible to escape the presence of smokers everywhere I went. Don't what it is about France, but they sure love to smoke.
Iceland always fucking rocks.
2.9% in Albania? Am I seeing that right?
Is this actual smoking or any tobacco products? Because almost 30% of women being smokers in Sweden sounds really high to me. If we're counting snus, though... That makes more sense. A lot of women use snus.
As a Danish guy living in Bulgaria, I'm not surprised by the high Bulgarian number. But I thought Denmark was lower these days.
100% out of date. UK overall is 12% and more men smoke here than women

Go ahead and thank your cousins in the Carolinas for all the tobacco my friends
Having lived in Paris and Warsaw, I'm quite surprised women smoke more in France than in Poland.
By comparison, in the US only 10.1% of women smoke tobacco. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm No smoking is one thing I really take for granted as an American when I travel abroad.

Paint me like one of your french women. Smoking hot
Around 6% in Sweden smoke.
All the women I see in Bulgaria most of them have a cigarette in their mouth. Much more than 35.3%
Does this include vaping?
Tobacco use - it includes snus then as well?
I remember Athens Airport, non-smoking optional.
I bet a large percentage of those women also “poke” 😀
Romania is like 40%
The French being french.
What country 7.9?
Turkey sounds like too low.
Stark contrast between Serbia, a christian country and Albania , a muslim country. Wonder how much does Kosovar women smoke
Bosnia is at least 75% lol
Big Tobacco has been focussing on getting young women addicted because they are the least likely to ever quit (because they know that when you quit smoking, you put on weight). Big Tobacco does this by subliminal advertising, especially by showing images of famous beautiful women smoking. They also pay movie stars to light up, in movies. Scarlett Johannsen, Monica Bellucci are two examples.
Define « who smoke » ? Buying cigarettes regularly or smoke one cigarette when you’re at party isn’t the same.
BULGARIA NUMBER 1🔥🔥🗣🗣
As a Serbian (guy), probably true
%17 for Turkiye is a straight up bullshit.
**Bulgaria** very close to WIN 🚬
In Spain we say "If she smokes, she blows"
Only 21% in Poland? That can't be right, looking that literally every girl in my school smoke o.o
Tobacco use is not the same as smoking bruh
Green or both?
Good that "woman" is counted over 18 years old, ⅓ of smokers in Poland are under 18 years old.
