Smoking is a national addiction and a national killer. Smoking is uniquely harmful, causing damage not only to smokers themselves, but also to the people around them. Smoking is one of the main drivers of health inequalities in England, with the harm concentrated in more disadvantaged communities and groups. People who live in the most deprived communities are twice as likely to smoke as people who live in the least deprived areas
