[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]According to recent research, one cigarette is adequate to lead one to adopt smoking as a daily habit. At least 3 out of 5 people who try a cigarette become daily smokers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The findings come from 215,000 respondents from Britain, the US, Australia and New Zealand. The rate of conversion from ‘first time smoker’ to ‘daily smoker’ is unexpectedly high – helping to confirm the importance of preventing cigarette experimentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"One

One cigarette is enough<\/p><\/div>\n

Researchers estimated that 60.3% of respondents said they smoked a cigarette and 68.9% of them commenced smoking<\/a> on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers note that the decline in smoking rates over the past 20 years is probably due to reduced experimentation among adolescents.<\/span><\/p>\n

The findings were published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
