7. Egypt
Score – 16
Having asthma and living in Egypt isn’t all that great. First of all, the country’s air is quite polluted. According to data from the World Health Organization, Egypt ranks sixth among the countries with the highest air impurity levels. This happens mostly due to the climbing number of cars, but also the developing industries in the country. According to data, Cairo’s pollution levels are 20 times than the safety levels. Numbeo’s numbers regarding the pollution index for 2015 also place Egypt on the third spot.
Egypt has prohibited smoking in public places, such as health and educational facilities, government buildings, as well as sporting and social clubs. Tobacco advertising is also banned.
