A new survey estimated the percentage of smoke-free homes in Europe.

Seven out of ten homes in Europe are smoke-free but there are wide differences among countries.

A new survey of more than 11,700 people in 12 European countries reveals the best and the worst countries when it comes to smoking at home. The survey findings were published in ERJ Open Research, the journal of the European Respiratory Society.

The survey also found that nearly one home out of five wasn’t completely smoke-free but had some rules in place.

• Greece came out at the bottom of the 12 countries with only 44 per cent of the homes being smoke-free, followed by Romania, Bulgaria, and Spain.
• England was on top of the list with almost 85 per cent of homes being smoke-free followed by Ireland, Latvia, and Italy.
