Summary description:
Presents results from questions about smoking which were included on the ONS Omnibus survey at the request of the Health and Social Care Informtation Centre. In the survey, questions about smoking behaviour and habits, giving up and stopping smoking, perceptions and awareness of issues related to smoking, attitudes related to smoking and smokers' response to their attitudes were asked of about 2,500 adults aged 16 and over.
The report examines the prevalence of cigarette smoking, consumption, dependency and smokers' perceptions of relative risk and giving up. It includes advice from medical professionals, as well as people's opinions on smoking restrictions and second-hand smoking.
