According to a recent report from international news outlet Philenews, a survey commissioned by PMI Cyprus reveals that one-third of the population of Cyprus (30.1%) are smokers. The survey gathered responses from 801 households in the country.
The percentage of smokers in Cyprus has decreased by 1.2% compared to the previous year. Additionally, a majority of individuals (86.6%) express concerns about the health effects of smoking, while 79.8% of smokers seek to quit due to health issues and their physical condition.
The study also revealed that smokers are severely lacking information about alternative tobacco products. Despite 80.9% of smokers emphasizing the importance of acquiring sufficient information about these choices, only 21.8% of smokers claim to have a comprehensive understanding of these substitutes. Additionally, 37% of individuals admit to relying on their friends and acquaintances to obtain information about these products.
Stavros Dakouras, the General Manager of Morphes Cyprus Phi Company, has expressed that their goal is to achieve a "smoke-free Cyprus" by 2030, in response to the study's findings.
