Tobacco

Despite a slight decrease compared to 2015, tobacco remains responsible for more than 68,000 premature deaths in 2023—accounting for 11% of total mortality—making it still the leading cause of preventable death in France. However, since the launch of the first National Plan to Reduce Smoking (PNRT), the number of daily smokers aged 18 to 75 has decreased by 4 million over the past 10 years.
