Experiments with Google Fusion Tables - Cigarettes Consumption - Country by Country

Introduction


Google Fusion Tables (or just Fusion Tables) is a Web service provided by Google for data management.

The Web service provides means for visualizing data with pie charts, bar charts, lineplots, scatterplots, timelines as well as geographical maps.

The size of uploaded data sets is currently limited to 250 MB for each user.

Almost 6m people were killed by tobacco use in 2011 according to the latest data released this week (The Guardian). How do countries compare for cigarette consumption and which countries have the highest percentage of smokers?


Mapping Application

1. Data downloaded from "The Guardian" website (in MS-Excel Format).

2. Added the spreadsheet to Google Fusion Tables to produce following Maps and Charts. 


Countries Map (for which data was collected)
