How do French tobacco retailers respond to the increased competition from German shops?

The price discrepancy stems from differing tobacco regulations and taxation between France and Germany. The French government's policy to increase cigarette prices to curb tobacco consumption, which accounts for 1 in 8 deaths (75,000 annually) in France, inadvertently drives consumers to neighboring countries with more affordable prices. This impacts French tobacco retailers, with eight shops closing annually in the Bas-Rhin department alone.
