We look at the effectiveness of NHS Stop Smoking Services, smoking by deprivation and smoking patterns among young people.

Smoking is a leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in England.

Reducing the number of people who smoke is therefore a key priority in improving the health of the population, and Stop Smoking Services are a key NHS intervention to reduce smoking.
