Decline in cigarette smoking has stalled, study finds

A decline in the number of cigarettes being smoked per day has stalled, with some people smoking more, a study has revealed.

Researchers at University College London found that the average person who smokes dropped from smoking 14 cigarettes per day in January 2008 to 11 cigarettes per day in October 2019 - but there has been “virtually no change” in consumption since.
