It’s striking how many people smoke tobacco in Paris - the French average 1089 cigarettes per person per year, compared to 685 where I live. The US is 1016.

What's up with Andorra and Luxembourg in the statistics? Neighbouring countries coming to buy lower-taxed cigarettes?

Yes. Andorra and Luxemburg are both tiny, landlocked nations that are pretty modest when it comes to taxation, bordering on what I'd call tax havens.
