Due to the stricter and stricter law enforcements, there are less and less smokers across the globe, but we have come upt with a compilation of the 9 countries that smoke the most cigarettes in the world. The countries you will see on this list, still have lots of things to do with smoking, and changing the smoking habits.
Smoking is a bad habit, we all know. It’s not only a bad habit, but extremely unhealthy and expensive, too. If you are curious about the heaviest smokers in the world, then we can say that an adult in Andorra generally smoke 6,398 cigarettes annually. At the first sight I thought this number is very large, but as I counted how many cigarettes I smoked last year – well, I won. I smoked at least one package of cigarettes a day, but very often one and a half package. Then, I decided to decrease this amount very dramatically, so I smoke only one package a week, which is a great achievement. There are days come and go when I absolutely don’t smoke. And if I think over how much I have already spent on cigarettes… it was very wise of me to reduce smoking.
9. Cyprus
The first country is Cyprus now. Smoking in pub places is also banned here, but the law isn’t enforced very strictly. One third of the whole population smokes here, which is a very alarming number.
8. Croatia

7. France
France is famous for its delicious wines and meals, but people are also fond of smoking as well.
