Seattle vs Prague
<p>As a lifelong non-smoker, I define a country’s smoking success as having less of a smoking culture. Compared to the US, Prague has a huge smoking culture. According to <a href="http://www.onconet.cz/index-en.php?pg=news&aid=978" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">data</a> from the Czech National Cancer Control Programme, about 25% of Czechs smoke, compared to approximately 15% of Americans.</p>

<p>Anecdotally, I’ve noticed much more smoking on the sidewalks, in parks, and in the outdoor sections of restaurants in Prague than in the US. Every time I walk through a smoke cloud in Prague, I long for the US.</p>
