Almost all respondents smoke cigarettes and very few use smokeless tobacco or e-cigarettes. According to the study, 44% of smokers do not intend to change their bad habit, while another 41% plan to reduce smoking.

Some of the ex-smokers have stopped smoking because of higher costs, the effect on others and bans in public places.
