To help show the extent <strong>of</strong> the differences between the most unhealthiest ward (Fenton West and Mount Pleasant) and the most healthiest ward (Meir Park), the number <strong>of</strong> deaths and hospital admissions across the four health indicators have been summarised (table 3). During 2006-2010, there were 6,255 deaths and hospital admissions in Fenton West and Mount Pleasant compared with 3,803 in Meir Park. This equates to an extra 2,452 deaths and hospital admissions in Fenton West and Mount Pleasant during this five year period, which is equivalent to 64.5% more than the total in Meir Park (the five year population estimates used for comparison were 25,704 in Fenton West and Mount Pleasant and 24,052 in Meir Park).

The lifestyles <strong>of</strong> people in <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent People’s health is determined by many different things, such as their level <strong>of</strong> education, the type <strong>of</strong> work they do, the quality <strong>of</strong> housing, the area in which they live. Lifestyles also have a big impact on our health. Smoking, physical activity, drinking, our weight, the food we eat, taking illegal (and legal) drugs, along with many other lifestyle factors, all have an impact on our health, both good and bad. In this part <strong>of</strong> the chapter we look at some <strong>of</strong> the lifestyle issues that have an impact upon people’s health in <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent. These include: smoking o 4 week quitters o smoking in the home o smoking and young people o smoking during pregnancy breastfeeding alcohol admissions drug addiction obesity and physical activity Smoking is the biggest single preventable cause <strong>of</strong> disease and premature death Smoking Smoking is the biggest single preventable cause <strong>of</strong> disease and premature death in the UK. One in two regular smokers is killed by tobacco, with half dying before the age <strong>of</strong> 70, and losing an average <strong>of</strong> 21 years <strong>of</strong> life. Smoking is a major risk factor for many diseases, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease. It is also associated with cancers in many other organs, such as the mouth, throat and stomach. Stopping smoking is a public health priority. The risk <strong>of</strong> heart disease reduces to about half that <strong>of</strong> a continuing smoker within a year or so <strong>of</strong> stopping smoking, while the risk <strong>of</strong> lung cancer reduces to almost the same as the risk for people who have never smoked within 15 to 20 years. Preventing people from starting smoking, and helping those who are already smoking to stop, is the key to reducing the harm associated with smoking. In <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent, 25.3% <strong>of</strong> adults (aged 18 and over) were estimated to be smoking in 2011/<strong>2012</strong> (compared with 20.0% in England). It is estimated that around 520 people in <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent (aged 35 and over) die from smoking related diseases each year, which equates to approximately 1.4 smoking related deaths <strong>of</strong> local people every day. 4 week smoking quitters Helping people to stop smoking remains at the forefront <strong>of</strong> saving lives and improving the health <strong>of</strong> smokers, as well as those exposed to the harmful effects <strong>of</strong> second hand smoke. Surveys suggest around two thirds <strong>of</strong> adult smokers would like to give up smoking, and around one quarter <strong>of</strong> adult smokers attempt to give up smoking each year. In helping people to stop smoking, the NHS Stop Smoking Service provides counselling and support to smokers wanting to quit. 27 | P a g e
