One million Austrians want to stop smoking
According to the latest survey of the opinion research institute “OGM”, almost one million of the Austrians want to stop smoking.
These are 41 percent of the 2,3 million smokers in Austria.
Especially older people over 50 years are fed up with smoking. Even 52% of them wants to resign the cigarette.
The most popular method to stop smoking in Austria is a therapy, but the first step of a successful withdrawal is a “conscious smoking”.
The Irish smoking ban in restaurants was a success. Newest studies show that cardiac infarctions are decreasing in Ireland after the ban.
Austrias Socialdemocrats also want to have a smoking ban in pubs and restaurants. The enterprisers are not interested about it.
