According to a report by TASS on August 12th, a survey by the All-Russia Public Opinion Research Center (ВЦИОМ) found that 64% of regular cigarette smokers expressed a desire to quit this habit.
A survey has shown that the majority of smokers surveyed, regardless of the type of tobacco or nicotine product they use, want to quit smoking. Among conventional cigarette smokers, 64% expressed some level of desire to quit smoking. This figure was 62% among e-cigarette users and 56% among users of heated tobacco devices.
Currently, only 31% of Russians use regular cigarettes, heated tobacco, or e-cigarettes. Among them, 24% use regular cigarettes, 9% use e-cigarettes, and 2% use heated tobacco devices. Respondents stated that the main reasons they started smoking were influence from friends (55%), curiosity (29%), and pressure (25%).
One of the main reasons for switching to heated tobacco and e-cigarettes is the lack of tobacco smell (43% and 53%), the desire to quit regular cigarettes (both at 40%), and the perception of less health risks (29% among heated tobacco consumers and 19% among e-cigarette consumers) are commonly cited.
The investigation revealed that 47% of regular cigarette smokers reported feeling physically uncomfortable due to smoking, while 46% of smokers claimed to have no noticeable effects. Approximately 7% of the respondents were uncertain about the health impacts of smoking. Among those who use heated tobacco and e-cigarettes, 48% and 56% respectively did not experience any physical abnormalities, 29% and 24% felt discomfort, and 23% and 20% were unsure whether there were any effects.
