7 in 10 smokers and vapers admit smoking where they shouldn't
Briefly

A recent study found that 71% of smokers and vapers have inhaled nicotine in restricted areas, such as train stations and parks, raising concerns about health risks to children. Vapers are slightly more inclined to rule-breaking than smokers. Despite the guilt expressed by 57% of participants, many admit they can’t control their impulses. The research indicates that social influence plays a crucial role, as 58% are swayed by others. Regional differences were noted, with Yorkshire smokers leading in rule-breaking, while Northern Ireland users exhibited high levels of guilt yet continued the practice.
71 percent of smokers and vapers admit to sneaking nicotine inhalation in restricted areas, despite feeling guilt and awareness of health risks.
The study reveals that vapers are more likely to break smoking rules, with significant numbers indulging in restricted spaces like train stations and parks.
A striking finding is that 70 percent of smokers and vapers break rules primarily because they can't find designated areas, leading to repeated offenses.
Despite a long-standing smoking ban, smokers and vapers struggle to resist their habits, with over half feeling guilty yet unable to stop.
