Thanks. Some very interesting facts in there. I calculate that the number of cigarettes smoked in Andorra is the equivalent of 87.6% of the ("adult") population smoking 20 a day, assuming that the remaining 12.4% are non-smokers. That is an astonishingly high rate of tobacco consumption. It also suggests that the population of Andorra is astonishingly stupid. Wikipedia gives a similar figure for Luxembourg but then it drops by more than a half for third-placed Belarus.

I think that this is because of taxes. Cigarettes are cheaper in Andorra than in Spain and France, and people usually buy them in Andorra. Happens the same with alcohol

That's because of Emojipedia, who changed all its image adress. I fixed all my main quizzes with emojis, but I forgot some few details like this one. I'll correct it. Thanks!

Great quizz! I just want to stress that Charlemagne's creation of Andorra is more of a myth than a factual reality :)
