On tobacco, the OTPH1 says“It will be one of the most perplexing mysteries for future historians to understand how societies with high levels of scientific expertise, analytical inclinations, communication abilities, demonstrated interest in health for people in the aggregate, and repeated claims to be concerned about the health and well being of children could have allowed money and power to blind the entire society to the importance of health”.
Smoking Kills2 Smoking kills 13+ people per hour For every 1000 20 year old smokers
Beyond Smoking Kills3 Smoking costs the NHS £2.7 billion annually “There is a terrible gap in life expectancy between the richest and poorest in British society. Smoking is by far the biggest single factor, accounting for half the difference.”

Conclusions Smokers in the most deprived fifth are the most likely to contact and undertake treatment There is a clear gradient from the least to most deprived fifth in terms of contact and treatment Population quit rates and treated smoker quit rates do not follow the same pattern. This is consistent with findings elsewhere.
Explanations? Lay epidemiology4 – poor housing, occupational hazards and environmental dangers are more immediate threats. Environmental tobacco smoke at home and cessation resource use5 Cigarette consumption and household support/smoking status 6
