A WHOPPING 31 percent of the population in Cyprus are smokers, despite 15 percent quitting cigarettes for good according to statistics released by the European Commission in Brussels.
However, the report on EU citizens attitudes towards smoking shows a downward trend in tobacco use across Europe.
The overall reduction compared with 2012 is 2 percent.
The age category that saw the biggest drop - of 4 percent - was those aged 15 to 24 .
There are still notable variations between member states in tobacco consumption, with lowest rates recorded in Sweden (11%) and Finland (19%) and the highest in Greece (38%) and Bulgaria (35%).
