Congrats Sweden. But holy hell, almost a quarter on average?
edit: a lot of people informed me that the number is that low because of their snus usage, which I’m not familiar with but here is a [link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus)

Personally everyone I know has tried or is currently smoking

Holland so low? Or is this just a figure for harmless tobacco?

It should be noted that the northern nations (and others near sweden) use snus (and pouches) that contribute to less smoking.
As for sweden alone, 12% of the population are snus users. (2007 stats).

New Zealand was on the right path until conservative dumbfucks had to ruin it again.

Are we talking about regular smokers ?
I highly doubt these numbers

UK’s 11.9%, which is probably largely down to cigerettes now being about £15/18 Euro a pack.

It would be interesting to see the data disclosed by age. I have the feeling older generations smoked way more than now.

What is defined as a smoker? How often would you have to smoke?

That’s terrible. They probably have higher indices of respiratory issues?

The post lacks specific data, but recent statistics indicate that smoking prevalence varies significantly across EU countries, with Bulgaria and Serbia having some of the highest rates at around 40%, while countries like Italy and Ireland have rates below 20%. The overall EU smoking rate was approximately 26-27% in recent years, with a slight decline observed over time.
Situation is horrendous in Bulgaria, just no disapproval of smokers at all. It’s a tobacco company’s dream job to sell product in Bulgaria. There needs to be an urgent intervention, particularly to stop women smoking – the number of mothers who smoke all over their babies, smoke in cars with their kids, teen girls who are smoking… It’s mind boggling how little people think of the consequences here.

As a non-smoking, non-snusing Swede I know which I prefer 100%.

in the 1950’s half of the adult danish population smoked (twice as many men as women).

11% dutch if you don’t count the “do you have a cigarette/lighter I can borough” crowd
I am a non-smoker and I suffer from chronic congestion since I was born, I don’t want to think how dark my life would have been if I started smoking

Romania up there holding the stats high.

I’m amazed that the numbers are so high, it’s mind boggling to me. My (Belgian) experience is more like 5% of people smoke classic cigarettes. There’s some that smoke e-cigs. Any time I smell someone has smoked it reminds me that cigarettes even exist (that and seeing a driver in front of me toss his cigarette out of the window, 🤮)

If Serbia ever joins we’ll have a new winner

Interesting how some of these numbers are vastly different to [worldpopulationreview.com](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/smoking-rates-by-country), which uses WHO estimates.
Disgusting habit
37%??? At least we are first in something 😃
Does this data only include adults?
