Summary
Albanians are heavy smokers: 62% of men smoke, up from just under 50% in 1990, although fewer women (19%) smoke. Per capita consumption is fairly high at 1,210 pieces, although if the large non-duty paid sector is included this rises to 1,750 pieces. Although contraband is less of a problem than it was 10 years ago, it still accounts for around 30% of total sales.
No cigarettes are now produced in the country and imports from Greece account for 38% of supplies, reflecting the leadership of Karelia.
