1. Qatar
Score – 24
Those who suffer from asthma must have a really hard time in Qatar. On top of the fact that it is situated in a very arid area, Qatar also has issues with pollution. In fact, WHO puts the country on the second place among the world’s most polluted states, with the worst of it all being in Doha, Qatar’s capital, which is ranked the 12th most polluted city in the world.
As far as smoking goes, Qatar has some laws set in place regarding public smoking, but enforcement of these laws are reportedly lax. Therefore, while legislation might have been set down, it’s only for the show since there’s no backing for it. Either way, Qatar makes the top of the list for the 11 worst countries for people with asthma.
