The centre of the tobacco world is… Greece, where over half of all adults smoke. But if you're looking for puffing adolescents, it's the Lebanon. A startling 60% of all teenagers smoke there, compared to only 2.2% of Vietnamese teens.

These figures are the latest available from the World Health Organisation, which has a searchable database of every possible health indicator in the world and is the most credible source available.
