Fewer Greeks smoking
Should they be praying for or against additives?
The number of adults who smoke in Greece has declined to 27.5 percent from 40 percent in a decade, according to a new study.
Conducted by the American College of Greece’s Public Health Institute and the Hellenic Cancer Society, the survey found that 17.9 percent smoke daily and 9.6 percent smoke fewer than seven cigarettes a week.
Smoking is least popular among young adults. Only 7.9 percent of those surveyed in the 18-24 age group smoked, compared with 9.9 percent in the 25-34 group and 26.1 percent among 45-50-year-olds.
