A few days before World No Tobacco Day, Sant\u00e9 publique France is publishing a study on daily smoking in the country, by region. The authors highlight significantly different situations between territories, and call for strengthening anti-smoking policies. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

THE data<\/a> mobilized by Sant\u00e9 publique France come mainly from its 2021 Barometer, a representative survey of 18-75 year-olds living in metropolitan France and the overseas departments and regions (DROM). The objective of such a study is in particular to report on regional disparities in smoking (daily smoking, desire to quit smoking and attempts to quit) and vaping, but also to help guide regional anti-smoking policies. <\/span><\/p>\n

Occitanie and the PACA region at the bottom of the ranking<\/b><\/h2>\n

In 2021, more than one in four French adults were daily tobacco users (25.3%). \u00cele-de-France and Pays de la Loire stood out for their lower prevalence than the other regions of metropolitan France, with 21.9% and 22.4% daily users respectively. Conversely, Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur were the regions with the highest smoking prevalence, with 28.9% and 29.5% daily users respectively. However, the overseas departments and regions recorded significantly lower consumption than the mainland regions, with a standardized smoking prevalence ranging from 11.7% for French Guiana to 18.7% for R\u00e9union. <\/span><\/p>\n

Results that differ depending on gender<\/b><\/h2>\n

However, these results hide significant disparities based on gender. Thus, among women, prevalences varied in 2021 from 19.1% (Normandy) to 26.6% (Occitanie). Again, smoking prevalences are significantly lower in the DROMs, ranging from 6.3% to 15.9%. Among men, the prevalence of daily smoking was estimated between 20.6% and 33.2% in metropolitan France. Centre-Val de Loire and \u00cele-de-France were the two regions with the lowest male smoking prevalence (20.6% and 24.1%). The Provence Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur region recorded the worst score, with 33.21% of daily consumers among adult men, a proportion unchanged from that of 2010. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from R\u00e9union (26.2%), the DROMs are also characterised by a significantly lower smoking prevalence (from 13.8% to 18.6%). For all French regions, the smoking prevalence of men is higher than that of women, with the exception of Centre-Val de Loire, where there are 22.7% daily female smokers and 20.6% daily male smokers. Overall, the figures show a trend towards a reduction in the gaps between men and women in half of the regions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Among the male population, the prevalence of daily smoking had decreased significantly in \u00cele-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire and Hauts-de-France, while among women, it had declined sharply in Normandy, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and \u00cele-de-France. It should be noted that the male smoking prevalence increased significantly between 2017 and 2021, from 27.1% to 31.8% in the Normandy region. <\/span><\/p>\n

A desire to quit tobacco widely shared by smokers in France<\/b><\/h2>\n

The data also show that the majority of French smokers want to quit their addiction. Thus, all regions have at least 50% of their smokers expressing the wish to quit smoking. The PACA region stood out with a significantly lower proportion than the other mainland regions (50.7%). On the other hand, in \u00cele-de-France, almost two-thirds of smokers said they wanted to stop their consumption (64.6%). The overseas departments and regions also stand out with a more marked desire to quit among smokers, reaching up to 70.1% of consumers in Guyana. Depending on the region, 20.8% to 35.2% of daily smokers had attempted to quit in 2021 during the year preceding the survey. In particular, two hexagonal regions recorded significantly lower proportions than the others: Brittany (20.8%) and the Grand Est (23.9%). This proportion reached up to 50.5% in the DROMs.<\/span><\/p>\n
