Smoking profile
The smoking profile provides an overview of the extent of smoking, smoking-attributable harm and the measures being taken to reduce that harm at a local level in England.
The smoking profile has been designed to help local government and health services to assess the effect of smoking on their local populations. It will inform commissioning and planning decisions to tackle smoking and improve the health of local communities.
The smoking profile presents data for available indicators at England and local authority levels, collated by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities.
