Prohibition: The tiny monarchy of Bhutan has banned smoking everywhere except in private homes:
People who cannot kick the habit can import tobacco for personal use, but at a 100 percent tax. They can only smoke indoors in the privacy of their homes.
Shops and businesses defying the ban face fines starting at $225, a steep amount by Bhutan's standards, and repeat violators would risk losing commercial licenses.
Bhutanese officials said only an estimated one percent of the country's 700,000 people smoked or used tobacco. The loss to tobacco businesses was not immediately known.
