The number of smokers in Italy is on
the rise, the Higher Health Institute (ISS) said on World No
Tobacco Day Thursday.
Some 23.3% or 12.2 million Italians now smoke, 0.4% up on
last year, the ISS said.
Some 27.7% of men, up 3.8%, and 19.2% of women, down 1.9%,
are smokers.
One out of 10 teens between the age of 14 and 17 smokes
regularly, the iSS said.
