4. China
Score – 18
Among all countries in the world, China is the one that sends the most CO2 into the atmosphere, which helps create such a polluted atmosphere that there are areas where citizens don’t see the sky for days in a row. With 10.5 billion tonnes CO2 emissions in 2014, China tops the list no one wants to. To make matters worse, there are an estimated 1.6 million premature deaths every year due to air pollution in this country.
China’s many administrative regions have various laws regarding smoking. For the most part, however, they’ve banned smoking in public so that should work towards protecting those with respiratory problems to some extent.
