Causes of health-smoking

• For example smoking related illnesses costs the NHS in Scotland over £400 million per year and there are around 10000 smoking related deaths every year.
• People in deprived areas are more likely to smoke heavily and have a stronger nicotine dependence and therefore find it harder to stop.
• Even with the smoking ban in public places which came into effect in 2006 the issue of smoking is still a big problem.
