Back in December last year, Delia said that one of his New Year resolutions was to give up cigarettes. "On 27 December, I had my last cigarette and I don't plan on having another one," he had said in a pre- recorded video clip sent to MaltaToday. But he has since taken up the habit again. So what could have caused Delia to break his three-month streak? "I had some worries," was all he would say yesterday when contacted. "I lead a stressful life," he quipped. Three months into 2018, there were a number of hot issues that could have been worrying Delia: the Daphne Project began publishing its first stories, and he was in the process of paying off his taxes. Around the same time, the IVF debate was re- portedly causing a stir with- in the Nationalist party. But Delia would not give any hint about what was causing him so much stress as to lead him back to smok- ing, not even whether it was work-related or otherwise. He did say, however, that he does not intend to give up and that he is fully commit- ted to having another go at quitting the habit once and for all. Mere months into new year, stress caused Adrian Delia to start smoking again A delegation from the German Evangelical Church yesterday joined members of the rescue organisations Sea Watch, Mission Lifeline, and Sea Life at a short vigil at the Valletta Waterfront, calling on European governments to keep borders open and to seek feasible, humane solutions to the migration problem. The German delegation said it had visited Malta to offer its support to the NGOs in appreciation of the invaluable work they did in saving lives at sea. 'This is about human life, not numbers'
