It's not very obvious, a pain in the arse to get open, and has limited space.

Glad I have my metal can from rewards.

back in my smoking days I used to enjoy a pack of gauloises occasionally. The French used to make proper tobacco products

My assumption is nicotine pouches affected cigarette maker sales, this you get a ban by paid for politicians.

Also don’t wear any counterfeit goods in France. Penalties for that are way over the top too.

Like every other law in Europe, I'm sure there is one group that won't have to follow it.

So now France is tougher on nicotine than they are rapists and murderers.

So "progressive".

The Africans selling that shite in parks must have been excluded from enforcement. And every "market" around Stade de France.

Depressed cigarette smoking is a requirement to be a French citizen

they do smoke, yes, but in my experience, Italy was more egregious with their smoking than France was... like, EVERYONE there smoked... granted, at least in Rome, everyone looked like fricking models and were dressed really well, but yeah, seemed like everyone smoked in Italy

yep, same with Juul here…piss off the wrong people or affect the sales of established business and instantly you get sob stories on the news (remember “vape lung”), then new laws and regulations to push you out of business

using “think about the children” is the easiest way to get the news to run your fake sob story headlines and for women to make knee jerk reactions in support

Showering Frequency: Surveys have varied over the years, with one 2015 report stating 43% of French people do not shower daily, and another 2017 survey showing 1 in 20 people shower once a week. However, other data from 2024 indicates 64% shower daily.

France has a "no-tobacco generation" goal. Even though zyns have no tobacco, they feel nicotine is the gateway to tobacco use.

They also feel they can enforce no smoking for youth, but zyns and like products are easy to conceal and designed to taste good and trap new users in a cycle of addiction.

They're all pussies. You can take my zyn from my cold dead hands.
