Fewer Maltese believe that passive smoking may cause cancer - Eurobarometer 

Malta and Hungary were the only two countries where the number of people who believed that cancer may result from passive smoking had gone down over the past two years, according to a recent Eurobarometer study entitled Attitudes of Europeans towards Tobacco.

According to the report, all the countries, apart from Hungary and Malta, recorded that a higher number of people believe that passive smoking may cause cancer. In the UK, the proportion of those who thought that cancer could be a result of passive smoking remained the same.

Malta, however, fared better in other aspects of the report, ranking third with 57 per cent of respondents saying they never smoked.

Portugal came first, with 64 per cent of people saying they never smoked, followed by Slovakia with 59 per cent.
