More than one-third (35.2%, 31.4–38.9) <strong>of</strong> 15–64-year-old current smokers who had<br />
seen a health care worker were provided with quitting advice or information, referred to<br />
quitting programmes or given quitting products by a health care worker in <strong>the</strong> past 12<br />
months. There were no significant differences by sex or ethnic group, after adjusting for<br />
age.<br />
