Local Tobacco Control Profiles for England The Local Tobacco
Control Profiles for England provides a snapshot of the extent
of tobacco use, tobacco related harm, and measures being taken
to reduce this harm at a local level. These profiles have been
designed to help local government and health services to assess
the effect of tobacco use on their local populations. They will
inform commissioning and planning decisions to tackle tobacco
use and improve the health of local communities. The tool allows
you to compare your local authority against other local
authorities in the region and benchmark your local authority
against the England average. What’s new in the tool in 2013? The
tobacco control profiles are part of a series of products
produced by the Public Health Observatories in England providing
local data alongside national comparisons to support local
health improvement. All indicators updated, where new data
available. There are some methodology changes for 2011/12.
