Further information on the prevalence of smoking is also available at ward level without
taking into account age or gender in the 76 page Public Health Profiles for Hull, as well

All these reports as well as the Hull Atlas are available at www.hullpublichealth.org.
Table 97 summarises the information in Figure 78 and Figure 79 by giving the latest
national information for 2008 (Health Survey for England 2008) compared to recent local
surveys. The prevalence estimates from the Health and Lifestyle Survey conducted
during 2003 and the Social Capital Survey conducted during 2004 have been combined
(as the prevalence estimates differed among the surveys). Table 97 also provides the
prevalence from the Health and Lifestyle Survey conducted during 2007 and the
Prevalence Survey conducted during 2009.
