Austria should not be first. Look up OECD data to see that it is in the middle of the pack (no pun intended). |

I am just glad I quit when I did. You breath better, run longer, and live longer when you don't smoke. |

I am an American that has worked in Europe and have been on vacation. The statistics tell us that only 26 percent of British smoke and 32 percent of Frenchan Italians smoke. Ameicans percentages vary from 17 to 19 percent. I find this hard to believe. In America, yes most people do not smoke but in Europe, it has to be 50 percent or more. It seems like amost everyone smokes. Maybe they seem to tell us that only 1/4 to 1/3 of Europeans are real smokers but maybe another 1/4 or 1/3 do not consider themselves smokers nd only smoke a few cigarettes a day. In the US, they ask us in surveys if we had a cigarette in the week month. So I think out of the 17 to 20 percent of Americans that smoked in the last month, half of them are real smokers. Most of them are 16 to 35(maybe 25 percent and most of them live in the lower economic areas white or minority). In well off areas, people are embarassed to say they are smokers. I am sure people over 35 smoke much much less that younger people here in the US. Maybe about 5 to 10 percent. Many of the people that do smoke live in tobacco country in the south. I think in Europe, they ask if you are a smoker I believe. People that smoke seldom or only when they go out, probably do not say they are smokers when they sould say they are! Why American cigarette companies sell well in Europe? They are usually cheaper I think. European cigarette companies are much more expensive. In America like in new York, a pack of cigarettes 10 years ago was about $1.25 I think and in North Carolina(cigarette country, it was about 40 cents.) Now in New York ,they have taxed it so much to about 6 to 7 dollars a pack and New Jersey, it is about 5 to 6 dollars a pack. think wth all the amount they spend on cigarettes a year with 1 pack a day in NY. They spend about $2,550 dollars. They could have used it on their mortgage payments, credit card bills, and maybe on a great vacation! Europeans should think about this too. |

The only reason Japanese are living longer than those in the west is because of the following two reasons, A) the older generation ie. those over 70 years of age, lived a far healthier life style than younger Japanese, better food in a cleaner environment. The stats will change very repidly in the coming decade I am certain. Japanese people now eat junk food with few (if any) fresh food stuffs in their daily diet, whilst at the same time drink and smoke to serious excess throughout the work week. This disturbing lifestyle is widespread. Japan is an economy that has fully matured and is now pushing people to turbo charge their life to fit in free time. The long healthy life here is over. |

The Japanese and the Greeks both have the very high life expectancies, but the smokers are vastly lower than the non smokers in every country. Perhaps this shows a psychological bent of self-destruction in countries where everyone is healthy...
If you'll take a look again at the countries that live the longest, you'll certainly find that all of them consume alot of fish, a carbohydrate base, and alot of local vegetables. You'll also find that they tend to prepare their food less than other wealthier nations with shorter life expectancies. |

Well...its true that Japan may have more smokers but, think of the diet difference between Japan and the US. I have lived both places, other factors like diet and lifestyle are affecting longevity more than smoking ever could. |

Living in Greece, i'm sure the Greeks should be very high on this list! I believe the Greeks and Japanese come first in average consumption of cigarettes per capita per day - do you have this stat? Thanks. |

It's not that the Japanese have better healthcare, but that they smoke in moderation and have an extremely healthy diet, with lots of fresh foods. |

antonio, you can't really smoke "too little." The Japanese must have better healthcare or something. |

I need basic numbers on smoking worldwide, not for separate countries: what percent of the world smokes? what percent of second-hand smokers die? how much does it cost to buy a pack of cigarettes, a day? a week? a month? a year? |

Japan has the most daily smokers, but they live the longest. Only the Canadians and Swedes have less than the US, but they also live longer I believe. So the US is either smoking a little too much or not enough:) |
