StopSmokingShop.co.uk Poll Reveals Over 50 Percent Would Smoke Until Death

Over 50 percent of respondents to an online poll of visitors to www.StopSmokingShop.co.uk said that given 12 months to live they would continue to smoke until death.

(PRWEB) March 7, 2008 -- In a shocking poll of visitors to http://www.stopsmokingshop.co.uk over 50% of respondents said that given 12 months to live they would continue to smoke until death.

The poll, which specified that the terminal illness would be smoking-related cancer, was answered by visitors to the website between January and February of this year.

Commenting on the results website owner Simon Driscoll said "To a degree I can see their point. If I was given 12 months to live I'd like to spend it doing something I loved. However you would hope, in reality, that those with a terminal illness would be a bit more altruistic and would think of others first. Passive smoking kills thousands - I would hope a dying person's wish would not harm others."

Smoking causes 29 percent of all cancer deaths in the UK. 90% of lung cancer in men and 86 percent in women are caused by smoking.
