In the UK, 25% of adults smoke cigarettes, 1% smoke a pipe regularly and 4% of men smoke at least one cigar per month. Of the cigarette smokers, 34% hand-roll their cigarettes, 55% would find it hard to go a whole day without a cigarette and 17% (mostly heavy smokers) have their first cigarette within 5 min of waking up. Overall, a slightly higher percentage of men (26%) than women (23%) smoke. Prevalence is highest in those aged 20–34 and then declines with age (Fig. 1).
