8.4.4 Attitudes Towards Smoking
Percieved impact on health after quitting smoking is presented in section 8.3 on page
244 from the Social Capital Survey 2009, with additional information examining
differences among the genders, age groups, Localities and deprivation quintiles
available in the Social Capital Survey 2009 report. Further information on factors
influencing smoking prevalence is given in section 8.4.7 on page 259 and in the 2007
Health and Lifestyle Survey Smoking report. Attitudes to smoking were collected as part
of Reflector Groups following the 2007 Health and Lifestyle Survey (see section
13.2.2.2 on page 795) and the 2008-09 Young Person Health and Lifestyle Survey (see
section 13.2.2.3 on page 796). The Smoking report, full survey reports from all surveys
and reflector group reports are available at www.hullpublichealth.org. Opinions and
attitudes were also collected during focus groups as part of the Attitudes to Health
project conducted during 2007 (see section 13.2.2.1 on page 794).
