Electronic cigarettes are not yet included in our calculations, due to lack of data!
According to the INSEE study on household spending in 2017, a household spends an average of €402 a year on tobacco (all households combined). The price of a pack of cigarettes in 2017 was €7.05 on average. For a household of 2.2 people (the French average), and at 20 cigarettes per pack, the average French person therefore consumes around 520 cigarettes a year, or 26 packs a year, or half a pack a week!
Another source of data: according to Santé Publique France, a smoker consumes an average of 12.7 cigarettes a day, or 4636 cigarettes a day, equivalent to 65 kgCO2e a year. However, this figure is not included in the calculation.
On the basis of the assumptions set out at the beginning of this paragraph, each French person consumes an average of around 7 kgCO2e.
