Current smokers aged 15–64 years in the most deprived areas (NZDep2006 quintile 5)
who had seen a GP in the past 12 months were significantly more likely than those in
the least deprived areas (NZDep2006 quintiles 1 and 2) to have been provided with
ABC by a GP in the past 12 months, after adjusting for age (Figure 61).
