Editorial

My personal experience of the impact smoking can have on loved ones has fuelled my interest in smoking cessation. Furthermore, the percentage of current smokers in Swindon where I live and work is above the UK average, and this may lead to higher numbers of deaths and hospital admissions directly related to smoking. This is worrying because it is the first time smoking prevalence in Swindon has risen above the UK average since records began in 2012 (Office for National Statistics [ONS], 2019).
