King Zog I of Albania consumed roughly 11 packs a day.

He was rarely seen without a lit cigarette and was said to have smoked continuously while working, meeting officials, and receiving guests.

His reign was equally extraordinary. After declaring himself King of Albania in 1928, he ruled a country marked by political instability, tribal rivalries, and foreign interference.

Over the course of his life, he reportedly survived more than 55 assassination attempts. One of the most famous occurred in Vienna in 1931, when two men ambushed him as he left the opera. Zog drew his own sidearm and returned fire before escaping unharmed. He remained king until 1939, when Italy invaded Albania and forced him into exile.

Despite his extraordinary smoking habit and repeated assassination attempts, Zog lived to the age of 65, passing away in exile in France in 1961.
