Trends in measures of quitting behaviour

This site contains information about trends in key indicators of smoking cessation behaviour in England, based on estimates from the Nottingham Tobacco Control Database.

The Nottingham Tobacco Control Database (NTCD)

The NTCD has been developed as part of a project funded by the National Prevention Research Initiative to evaluate the effect of several specific English tobacco control policies on markers of smoking cessation activity. The database is a compilation of data from sources of smoking-related information on a national level. It contains a range of systematically updated monthly and yearly measures of smoking cessation behaviour on a national level from national surveys, primary care data and over-the-counter sales of nicotine replacement therapy.
