Map smokes out people hooked on cigarette habit

Another great mapping event from the TimesOnline - here they show how smokers can be map-lighted through online nicotine traces... 'the distribution of smokers across England, showing the areas where people are the most dependent on nicotine, is revealed today as part of a service designed to encourage smokers to quit. An online map compares the proportion of smokers to the level of economic and social deprivation among more than 8,000 electoral wards.

The map, published online by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), the anti-smoking pressure group, is based on estimates of smoking rates and a government index measuring deprivation, and indicates a strong correlation between smoking and poverty.'

The maps are available at www.ash.org.uk/html/mappingproject/mappingproject.html
