You've got to be kidding. Paris has far more smokers than any American city of comparable size. Look at the smoke-filled bar/café terraces in Paris or designated smoking areas outside of workplaces should you need further evidence. Additionally, because of the larger amount of young smokers, it is much more socially acceptable to be young and smoke, than in, say, California, which pioneered anti-smoking campaigns and ordinances. Thankfully, the French are clamping down on it.
