No Smoking

Bhutan, a small country in the Himalayas near Nepal, has banned smoking in the entire country. Smoking of tobacco is illegal in any public space in the country. Sales of tobacco are banned as well. So, if you're a smoker, you can only smoke inside your home, and you must leave the country to purchase tobacco products. The government also charges a very high tax on tobacco products brought into the country. And you were pissed when you couldn't smoke at a restaurant! Consider yourself lucky.
