Who Smokes Cigarettes The Most?--Which Countries?


I have decided to provide my readers with some global stats you can use to impress your friends, win arguments, and help solve global issues. At some point, you probably knew all this. I am here to offer a reminder.

Today’s topic: Do you know where adults smoke cigarettes the most?

Based upon the average cigarettes smoked per adult, annually, in which countries are they smoking the most?

1. Greece
2. Hungary
3. Kuwait
4. Japan
5. Spain
6. Malta
7. Bulgaria
8. Belaris
9. Belgium
10.Turkey

When you travel to these nations, don’t expect a smoke-free restaurant meal. What other (cigarette-smoking) implications come to mind when you think about doing business in these nations?

I am most surprised to see an affluent, progressive, western country of Belgium here.
