Smoking is a leading cause of preventable death and illness in Peterborough. Local smoking prevalence (12.9%) is slightly higher than the national average. Smoking rates are particularly high in deprived areas, among people with long term mental health conditions, substance misuse issues, those who are homeless and those in routine and manual occupations.
