Really enjoyed my short time in Paris. I generally think that Europeans have gotten so many things right that we Americans are still struggling with. But… what is with all the smoking, still, in 2026? Someone should tell them it’s bad for you. 🚬

In other news .. France has its own colour on these two maps

🔗Smoking Rates By Country

🔗Wine Consumption Rates By Country

AND - on the smoking side .. we shouldn’t forget to include vaping … because when it comes to Vapes (like ‘arms’) - the US beats out the world - both in consumption and production - even with the massive massive health warnings.

Meanwhile - France beats out the US with coffee, though only by 25% (ish): 🔗Coffee Consumption Rates By Country

.. and yet for all of that

🔗 Life expectancy in France fully 3 years more
