　　英国最近的一项调查显示，如今该国烟民中有四分之三的人认为吸烟违反公益，21％的烟民感到内疚，另有21％的烟民觉得吸烟再也不是所谓合乎社会礼俗的行为。

　　据《每日邮报》网站3月29日报道，这项调查发现，英国成年人中的83％以及烟民中的78％认为吸烟是一种违反公益的行为，而25％的烟民感到被社会排斥；烟民中有21％在公众场合吸烟时会感到内疚，百姓中有64％的人会介意近旁有人在吸烟。只有1％的烟民会征询周围人的同意才吸烟，53％的烟民仍不顾他人而在房间里吞云吐雾；

　　这项调查是由英国国民保健制度吸烟热线中心组织的，正赶上爱尔兰颁布酒吧餐馆禁烟令一周年。该中心顾问亚历克西娅·佩特森说，"我们发现接到越来越多'社交烟民'（编者注：指朋友们抽烟时自己才抽烟的人）打来的电话，因为他们渐渐觉得吸烟再也不是合乎社会礼俗的行为了。由于明年禁烟法将施行，这种趋势可能还将继续"。

　　A fifth (21%) feel guilty about their habit, and the same proportion believe it is just not the "done thing" anymore.

　　The study, carried out for the NHS Smoking Helpline, also found that just 1% of smokers ask permission to smoke around others and 53% still smoke in the same room as non-smokers.

　　The survey, which coincides with the one-year anniversary of the Irish smoking ban in pubs and restaurants, found that 83% of adults and 78% of smokers think smoking is anti-social and 25% of smokers feel socially excluded due to smoking.

　　The study also found 21% of all smokers feel guilty when smoking around non-smokers and 64% of all people mind if others are smoking nearby.

　　Alexia Paterson, NHS Smoking Helpline adviser, said: "Increasingly we find we're getting calls from 'social smokers' who are finding that smoking just isn't so sociallyacceptable any more.

　　"With the smoking ban coming into play next year, this trend is likely to continue.
