NEWS 10: 52,000 deaths a year from tobacco

BE CAREFUL!!

• 20% of Spanish people smoke habitually
• 17% of smokers have tried to quit the habit more than four times.
• The average consumption of cigarettes of this people is around 12 a day.

The medical society has presented the conclusions of a survey in which have participated 9,045 people from all over Spain. 

"The results of the survey show that a large majority are in favor of advancing the limitation of smoking," says César Minué, coordinator of Smoke-Free Week, who regrets that despite the anti-smoking laws were "a breakthrough" that "Put Spain in the lead at the international level," since 2011 there has been no progress, so "the improvements achieved have the risk of stagnating."

What methods are we trying to reduce the number of smokers? 

- Ban the act of smoking in the inside of the cars. 
- Use of  a generic packaging, which can be very useful combating smoking between the adolescent population.
- Increase the cost. 
- Remove the publicity of smoking.
