Mapped: The UK regions where smoking is most common after stark new figures released
Every year, the number of cigarettes smoking in the UK was shocked by Cancer Research UK and University College London (UCL).
Smokers have an average of 28.6 billion cigarettes every day and equal to 78 million every day.
The study benefits from the data obtained from the smoking vehicle set work between 2022 and 2024. Smoking estimates that adults consume an average of 10.4 cigarettes per day.
The figures are also destroyed by the region showing which areas in the UK have the highest rate of smokers and which region has the highest number of cigarettes.
The data indicate that in 15 percent of the adult population, it is the south -west with the highest rate of smokers. Meanwhile, Scotland and Yorkshire are common with 13.3 percent. On average is 13.9 percent among all adults.
However, smokers in the southern regions are smoking less proportionally compared to those in North and Scotland. Smokers in the North East are the highest level of 598 cigarettes per year – the highest level of London 423.
The analysis reveals that this refers to significant inequalities in cigarette consumption, and that individuals who deprive individuals show an average of 11 smokers per day show 9.4 per day among those in richer areas.
In the light of numbers, the government of charities is currently inviting the Tobacco and Vapes Bill passing through Parliament. The legislation aims to prevent the sale of tobacco products on January 1, 2009 or after the sale of tobacco products and to create a ‘smokeless production’ by effectively increasing the age of legal cigarette.
Dr Ian Walker, the policy manager of Cancer Research UK, said: “Although big steps have been taken to reduce smoking rates, we cannot afford to complain. Every week, 550 million cigarettes are still drinking in England – this is enough to fill an Olympic -sized swimming pool.
“Tobacco and Vapes Bill is a historical opportunity to help determine the damages of smoking, but the legislation does not progress as fast as it should be in Parliament.
“Tobacco is a toxic product that should not be a place in our future, and when I return to the House of Lords and prioritize all parliamentarys to support a smokeless England and to prioritize this bill.
