Recession 'keeps smokers puffing' (UK)

Many smokers are too stressed by the hard economic times to attempt to give up their habit, research suggests. Almost a quarter (23%) of smokers quizzed by Ipsos Mori said they had put off plans to quit. And 28% said they had simply been too stressed to make a successful attempt to quit in the last six months, blaming job and financial worries. If reflected across the country it could mean more than two million people have delayed plans to quit. - BBC
