Eighty-one per cent of Maltese smokers want to kick the habit, according to a survey by the European Commission’s Ex-Smokers Are Unstoppable campaign.

The survey, carried out on a sample of 200 people, also showed that almost 52 per cent of Maltese believe that smoking is one of the hardest habits to break.

More than four in 10 of those questioned felt that smoking was getting in the way of doing an activity.

The most frequently voiced concern was that smoking prevented respondents from feeling healthy and in control of their health (20 per cent), followed by playing sports (13 per cent).

Ex-Smokers Are Unstoppable celebrates the achievements of ex-smokers all over Europe.

The campaign offers help and advice to stop smoking through iCoach, a free online stop-smoking tool based on extensive scientific research and clinical experience of psychologists and communication experts.
