Top 15 Countries with Highest Cigarette Consumption in the World

11. Germany

Market size (billion sticks): 78.1 Billion

Germany is the only EU country, where cigarette advertising is allowed outdoors and if you ever visit the country you will most likely see the abundance of cigarette vending machines on street corners or in bars. Similar to other countries, the German cigarette market is consolidated, with big tobacco companies controlling the market. Moreover, as the government pushes for pack redesigns to provide more health warnings and reduce branding, smaller companies as well as big multinationals are expected to reduce their portfolios of brands in the country.
