A study of the situation of tobacco consumption in the world has
put Mongolia on the first place as a country with greatest smoking
population. According to experts, Armenia is in the top ten of
countries with heavy smokers. This is perhaps one of the cases
when it’s not a privilege to appear in the top ten. 64 percent of
Armenian citizens are smokers and in Mongolia this number is 67.8
percent. Greece is on the first place as a country with highest
frequency of smoking – 8.6 cigarettes a day. The experts considered
the data of 2002-2003 for the study. Armenia also rivals with such
countries as China (66.9%), Kenya (66.8%), Cambodia (66%) and Namibia
(65%).
