In the survey, 89 percent of respondents said that they are contented a lot in their life.  They also found out that 88 percent of Greek Cypriots wanted to prohibit smoking in enclosed public spaces which is surprising for a country that has high ratio of smokers.

“The level of satisfaction of Cypriots with their lifestyles has been steadily high throughout the years,” President of RAI Consultants, Olympios Toumazos said.

He also added two things can be attributed to the finding: that social conditions like strong family bonds and a Mediterranean temperament of expressing themselves when they are angry.

The survey was conducted in 976 individuals from December 2007 to January 2008.
