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 annually measures of smoking cessation behaviour on a national level from national surveys, primary care data and over-the-counter sale of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
