69 per cent of smokers want to quit

Well I thought the figure was 70 per cent, which has been the standard figure dished out by the authorities for years. Indeed the figure appears to apply everywhere. Everyone uses the same figure. It's an industry standard (see question 3)!

Everyone uses it except Sheila Duffy, who puts the figure at 69 per cent. Well, since the Scottish Household Survey has found a 1 per cent drop in smoking prevalence, perhaps that's reasonable.
