Working from home during the pandemic may have hindered efforts to quit smoking, reveals a UCL study. Smoking prevalence declined sharply before COVID-19 but stalled during the crisis, with rates falling only slightly. The study suggests that financial concerns and increased feelings of loneliness among non-manual workers working from home may have contributed to the decline in quitting. Furthermore, smoking rates among young adults increased due to stress and social isolation. Urgent action is needed to meet the government's smoke-free target for England by 2030.
