    May 31 is World No Tobacco Day. The Armenian law prohibits smoking
    in public places, however the law is often violated. 55% of men and
    about 2% of women smoke in Armenia. 2-3 thousand people in Armenia
    die annually as a result of diseases caused by smoking.

    The Queen of France was the first to smoke 400 years ago to get rid
    of headache. Later on the cigarette became one of the elements of
    everyday public life.

    According to the Director of the "Sociometer" research center Aharon
    Adibekyan, 60-65% of the population of Armenia smoked in 1986-1987.

    World statistics says that most smokers are registered in China (300
    mln). The number of smokers in the world exceeds 2 bln. Every smoker
    spends $300 on the average annually.
