Yeah. I have also often heard westeners saying that "people in China(or Asia) smoke so much!" etc. which is probably true if we are dealing with absolute numbers. When looking at the relative numbers however, there are more smokers in France than in China and smokers in Sweden consume more cigarettes each day.

Maybe smoking in public is more common in China/Asia?
