Current smokers aged 15–64 years living in <strong>the</strong> most deprived areas (NZDep2006<br />

than those in <strong>the</strong> least deprived areas (NZDep2006 quintiles 1 and 2) to have been<br />
provided with quitting advice or information and referred to quitting programmes or<br />
given quitting products by a health care worker in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months, after adjusting for<br />
age (p-values < 0.05) (Figure 48).<br />
