6. Bangladesh
Score – 17
With air impurity levels that rank Bangladesh on the fourth spot among the countries with the dirtiest air, it’s no surprise that people with asthma have a hard time in this country. Data from WHO also indicates that Bangladesh is the fourth most polluted country in the world, with three cities among the 25 most polluted in the world.
At the very least, however, Bangladesh is part of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and has prohibited smoking in indoor public places and workplaces. Public transportation is also a no-go for smoking, unless there are more rooms than one to the vehicle, in which case there might be specially designed smoking rooms.
