The prevalence of smoking in Hull is higher compared to the England average. The
local Health and Lifestyle Surveys conducted during 2003, 2007 and 2009, and the local
Social Capital Surveys conducted during 2004 and 2009 all collected information on
smoking status. In contrast to the General Lifestyle Survey (Economic and Social Data
Service 2008), smoking status was not restricted to cigarettes and the responses were
slightly different in that information was collected on the number who smoked daily,
smoked occasionally, were ex-smokers and who had never smoked. Figure 79 gives
the percentage of daily or occasional smokers for each Locality in Hull using the same
age groups as the General Lifestyle Survey, based on the findings from the most recent
Prevalence Survey conducted during 2009. The underlying data are given in the
APPENDIX on page 858. The prevalence of smoking in Hull was 38.1% for men, 32.2%
for women and 35.1% for men and women combined, compared to 24% for men and
20% for women from the Health Survey for England 2008 (Health Survey for England
2008).

A report from the findings from the Prevalence Survey 2009 and a report specifically on
smoking using information from the 2007 Health and Lifestyle Survey have been
produced as well as a main report from this survey. These reports examine smoking in
more detail. For example, the prevalence of heavy smoking (20+ cigarettes per day),
attitudes to smoking and risk factors for smoking.
