Armenia is the third state in the Tobacco Atlas defining the percentage
of death from smoking. Tobacco Atlas is issued by World Lung Foundation
and American Cancer Society.

The map shows that 32.7% of male deaths are due to tobacco in Armenia.

The fist in the list is Turkey - 37.6% of male deaths, followed by
Kazakhstan - 34.7%.

The report says 7.7% of female deaths are due to smoking in Armenia.

In France they can only smoke in the street. My son goes out to smoke; not in the house. I am glad of that.
I wonder how the Turks or Armenians who come to France manage to live free.
During the WW2, my grandfather felt very miserable, because they had only very few tobacco. He could not bear that.
He went to the garden and took the leaves of rose-tree to smoke.

It's so hard to imagine Parisian cafes without smokers but I'm glad France has taken steps to control second hand smoke. I don't know how Armenians in France manage but here in Glendale they don't give a crap about the ordinance that prohibits smoking in common areas and all areas within 20 feet of windows and entrancies. At times I have to run around the apartment and shut all our windows because there's a smoker a few feet away from a window.
