Of course not!!
It's not because they say that in a film that it's true!

I have been living in France for a year and a half (before and after the nationwide public smoking ban) and I have definitely noticed a decrease in the amount of smokers I run into each day. Not everyone smokes in France, but it is more socially acceptable to do it. I live with two French girls now and they both smoke off and on. Voila!

No, not any more.15 years ago that might have been true, but parsians today are very health concious, besides smoking in public places is prohibited by law in France.

According to the World Health Organization 27% of French adults smoke.

Getting any kind of factual information from a TV show isn't the best way to acquire knowledge.

NB: Smoking is not banned in all public places but only indoors. If you're one of the .01% of the population who is actually allergic to smoke (as opposed to the 50% who SAY they're allergic to smoke) then you may have a problem.

I've been in Paris and I've never seen smokers

Yes there are cigarette butts all over the sides of the streets. But it's banned inside buildings now and such. People still smoke in outdoor/open air cafés though, and it can drift inside. They smoke less than they used to, but it's still a big part of French culture. Especially the older people love their cigs. One of my French professors is from a Paris suburb and he smokes ALL the time even here in the US. I do find that French cigarettes don't smell as bad as American ones for some reason, no idea why. But if you are allergic to any kind of smoke, you'll have to be pretty vigilant.
