Website of the month for August - Smoking and Smoking Cessation in England: Data Monitoring Tool

This month's 'website of the month' is a useful monitoring tool to collate the available data on key outcomes, such as smoking prevalence and quit attempts; the data was collected from a range of national data sources. 

The site says:
"This tool will be a ‘one-stop shop’ for information on smoking related measures and allows the general public, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to get an overview of trends both in the overall population, and in target groups such as the relatively disadvantaged."
