Who smokes in Southwark — and where the burden falls heaviest.

Plain-English context

Smoking is still the single biggest preventable cause of early death in England. Overall, 8.9% of adults in Southwark smoke — but among people in routine and manual jobs it is 20.7%. These estimates cover different age groups and reporting periods; their ratio is not a matched inequality measure. Figures are self-reported survey estimates with wide margins.
