Reason for exclusion Kotz D, Stapleton JA, Owen L, West R. 2011 Reviewed “No smoking day” Target group Working Age Adults Cross sectional surveys - Comparison of reported quit attempts in the month following NSD for three consecutive years with adjacent months using repeated national surveys of quit attempts. The number of additional smokers who quit permanently in response to NSD was estimated from the survey results. The incremental ratio (ICER) was calculated by combining this estimate with established estimates of life years NSD emerges as an extremely cost-effective public health intervention. The rate of quit attempts was 2.8 percentage points higher in the months following NSD (120/1309) compared with the adjacent months (170/2672; 95% CI 0.99% to 4.62%), leading to an estimated additional 0.07% of the 8.5 million smokers in England quitting permanently in response to NSD.
