PERCENTAGE OF SMOKERS DROPS ****
ABOUT 20 PER CENT OF THE POPULATION AT THE AGE OF 15 AND ABOVE WERE HABITUAL CIGARETTE SMOKERS, ACCORDING TO A SURVEY CARRIED OUT BY THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT IN MARCH LAST YEAR.
THIS WAS DOWN FROM 23 PER CENT ESTIMATED BY A SIMILAR SURVEY CONDUCTED A YEAR EARLIER.
THE NUMBER OF HABITUAL SMOKERS DROPPED FROM 888 500 TO 783 900 OVER THE 12-MONTH PERIOD.
THE HABIT WAS MORE COMMON AMONG MALES THAN FEMALES: 34 PER CENT OF MALES AGED 15 AND OVER WERE SMOKERS, COMPARED WITH FIVE PER CENT FOR FEMALES. THE CORRESPONDING FIGURES IN THE PREVIOUS SURVEY WERE 40 PER CENT AND SIX PER CENT.
HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF WOMEN SMOKERS AGED 20-39 INCREASED BY NEARLY 17 PER CENT OVER THE SAME PERIOD, FROM 15 900 TO 16 61).
THE SURVEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE TENDENCY TO SMOKE INCREASED WITH AGE FOR BOTH SEXES.
