Smoking is the leading cause of avoidable deaths in Ireland* with 6,000 people dying each year from the effects of smoking. LloydsPharmacy have released new research giving an insight into the obstacles and thoughts amongst Irish adults when it comes to breaking the habit of smoking. Almost 7 in 10 Irish adults claim that they have been
smoking for 10 years or more, with women more likely to have done so than men. Shockingly, over half of those surveyed (53%) claimed to have first begun smoking under the legal age limit of 18 years old.
