Document title: Smoking Ready Reckoner
Description:

This ready reckoner uses simple calculations to estimate the potential effect of reduced smoking prevalence on three outcomes:

  • smoking-attributable deaths;
  • smoking attributable hospital admissions;
  • smoking-attributable NHS costs (2 methods shown).

Tables are presented showing the estimated reduction in these outcomes if smoking prevalence in Scotland were reduced by one and two percentage points.
