Two thirds of UK smokers have tried to quit in the last 12 months, a study has found. Researchers who carried out a detailed study found around five million adults have attempted to stop smoking in the last year, but one in five didn't even last a month. 一项研究发现：过去一年，英国有三分之二的烟民尝试戒烟。开展这项详细研究的研究员发现，去年有500万的成年人试图戒烟，但五分之一的人甚至连一个月都没坚持下来。 And half of those who tried blamed a lack of willpower for their failure to kick nicotine. Despite not being able to pack them in for good, one third of users said they were able to cut back by more than 75 per cent while one quarter halved their intake by using alternatives. 一半的人认为戒烟失败是因为他们缺乏意志力。尽管未能永远戒烟，但三分之一的用户表示他们能够减少75%的抽烟量，而四分之一的人用香烟替代品减少了一半的吸烟量。 |
