Yes, it is painfully obvious that this article is ridden with horrible spelling. It’s not unreasonable to say that “per cent” is how they spell it correctly. But the other mistakes? Apparently, smoking now kills brain cells as well as your lungs.

How does one ‘bake’ a partial ban? 350 degrees for 30 minutes?
“Northern Ireland is to introduce a smoking later this year”–once is bad enough, twice inconceivable!
What about “per cent” twice? Or is that’s just how the Irish spell “%”?

“Per cent” rather than “percent” is a valid way to put it.
Also, I don’t think that you have to have the word Ireland in the headline for it to make sense.
But the fact that they missed the word “ban” makes this hella confusing.
I think the person who wrote this had been smoking… and that would explain the baked.
Per cent is actually the correct English spelling, it is a phrase, not a word, in fact it isn’t even English, it being Latin.
