Top 15 Countries with Highest Cigarette Consumption in the World

8. Bangladesh

Market size (billion sticks): 86.1

Smoking in Bangladesh has declined dramatically in the last 16 years or so, but it still is among the top 15 countries with the highest cigarette consumption in the world. In 2005, Bangladesh saw its government adopt the Smoking and Using of Tobacco Products Act, which led to a ban on smoking in some public places and in public transport, as well as a ban on advertising of tobacco products. With the installation of the bans, the percentage of adults (over 15 years) smoking slid to 20% from 34.6% between 2013 and 2000.
