Smoking in England: A Decade of Change with Dr. Claire Garnett

Smokers Today are showing fewer signs of cigarette dependence than A Decade Ago, but that there has been a worrying decline in the proportion of smokers trying to quit or cut down.
Ever wondered how smoking habits in England have evolved over the years? In this episode of Addiction Audio, Dr. Rob Calder chats with Dr. Claire Garnett about her fascinating research into the shifting patterns of smoking and quitting among English smokers from 2008 to 2017. Using data from the smoking toolkit study, Dr. Garnett and her team uncovered some eye-opening trends.
They found that cigarette dependence has decreased, more smokers are opting for e-cigarettes and pharmacological aids, and there's been a rise in non-daily smokers. However, fewer smokers are actively trying to quit or cut down in recent years. Dr. Garnett also dives into the study's limitations and what these findings mean for tackling social inequality in smoking.
This episode offers a deep dive into the changing landscape of smoking in England, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in public health, addiction research, or simply curious about how societal habits shift over time.
