The prevalence ofsmoking is higher in those people who undertake routine and manual employment (31%of whom smoke). They consume an average of 15 cigarettes per day. The prevalence ofsmoking by those in intermediate employment (eg small employers and self employed) isless, at 23% (and they smoke an average of 14 cigarettes per day). Finally, theprevalence of smoking by those in managerial and professional employment is thelowest at 18% (and they smoke an average of 13 cigarettes per day).In summary, a typical smoker in England is likely to:• Live in the North East or North West of England;• Be a male;• Be aged between 16-44;• Consume packaged cigarettes (as opposed to hand rolled);• Consume less than 20 cigarettes per day; and• Work in routine or manual employment.4.2.3 Where do smokers consume cigarettes?Research undertaken on behalf of ENCAMS shows that smokers modify their smokingbehaviour according to who they are with and what they are doing 33 . Smokers are morelikely to smoke if they are around other smokers, or if they are drinking alcohol.Common locations for smoking and the reasons for choosing these locations are:• Home - Smokers modified their behaviour when at home, restricting theirsmoking to certain parts of their premises.33 ENCAMS (Sept 2005) Cigarette related litter, Stage 2 DebriefSituation Report - Final 8
• Bars/clubs/restaurants - when drinking alcohol;• Work – Smokers also stated that they tended to smoke at work in order to get abreak from work, or to socialize with other smokers (eg in the smoking room).• Out of doors – more men than women smoke out of doors, as women are moreself conscious about it 34 .About half of these smoking locations are both ‘away from home’ and outdoors. It isthese locations where smoking-related litter is a concern. With the introduction ofsmoking bans in 2007, the proportion of away from home, outdoor smoking locations willincrease.34 ibidSituation Report - Final 9
