More smokers decide to quit... but fewer succeed

More smokers decide to quit... but fewer succeed - mirror.co.uk



Figures yesterday also showed the NHS is forking out £84.3million on smoking services – £60m more than 10 years ago.
In 2010 to 2011, 788,000 people – around one in 10 users in England – were given quit dates with almost 384,000 stopping.
This compares to 227,000 getting help in 2001 to 2002 when 120,000 triumphed.
It means the success rate has dropped from 53% to 49%.
That seems like an awful large amount of money to spend on an outcome like that.
But hey why concern ourselves with that,after all we're trying to drive smoking out of existence.
