According to a recent study by University College London (UCL), there has been a notable rise in smoking rates in some parts of England for the first time since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The study examined data from over 350,000 adults in England. <\/p>\n<p>From 2020 to 2024, smoking rose by 10% in southern England, while the north saw a decrease of 9.7% in the same period. South-west England bore the brunt of the increase, witnessing a 17% leap in smoking rates, taking the figure to 18.7%. The south-east and London had a spike of 9% and 8%, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>When these statistics are extrapolated, it infers that an estimated 7.5 million adults in England now smoke. In contrast, the numbers fell by 160,000 in the north of England\u2014with 2 million adult smokers remaining. <\/p>\n<p>Dr Sarah Jackson lead author said &#8220;It&#8217;s vital that quit smoking services are made easily and equally available across the country, so that everyone &#8211; wherever they live &#8211; can access the right tools to quit for good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\"> Comment by Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway<\/h2>\n<p>At Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, we are disappointed to see the resurgence of smoking rates in particular regions within England after almost 20 years of decrease. <\/p>\n<p>The study emphasises, and ACE agree,  the need to constantly assess the long term efficiency of ongoing initiatives and promote continuous innovation in anti-smoking solutions. It is key to focus on long term success rates of initiatives and not just the short term 4 week rates.<\/p>\n<p>The Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway (ACE) success rate is over 25% at one year based on our work with the NHS and Local Authorities (over 4,000 people helped to freedom). However, that is not the full picture because a sizable number of people do not respond at one year.<\/p>\n<p>In fact independent studies show that at 2 years the success rate for ACE is over 40%.<\/p>\n<p>It is time for all quit smoking services across the country to offer a drug free, clinically &#038; NICE approved, long term high quit rate method. <\/p>\n<p>We are pleased to be working with the NHS and Local Authorities to help smokers in many areas across England from Dorset to Southwark to Barrow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/nhs\/#seminars\">See if you can attend
