rate

According to
what is shown, Turkey's national consumption of food, drink, and Tobacco was the highest proportion record with 32.14 %, followed by the second place ratio for Ireland with nearly 29%. The other three countries, Spain, Italy, and Sweden, had nearly the same ratio with an insignificant change of about 19%, 16%, and 15.7% respectively.
