Statistics on women's smoking status at time of delivery

Quarterly report presenting the latest results and trends from the women's smoking status at time of delivery (SATOD) data collection in England. Providing a measure of the prevalence of smoking among pregnant women at Commissioning Region, Integrated Care Board and Sub-Integrated Care Board levels.

The source for this data collection has now changed following a Health and Social Care Statistics consultation carried out in 2024. During 2024/25, SATOD data was dual collected and reported using data from the Maternity Services Dataset (MSDS) with the final report for Q4 2024/25 published in June 2025. As the national estimates from both data sources are closely aligned, MSDS has replaced the SATOD data collection for future SATOD reporting.

Smoking, drinking and drug use among young people

This is the most recent survey in a series that began in 1982. Each survey since 1998 has included a core set of questions on smoking, drinking and drug use. In 2000, the survey questions changed to focus on smoking and drinking or on drug use in alternate years and in 2016, the survey reverted back to including both drinking/smoking and drugs focused questions in one survey.

The survey report presents information on the percentage of pupils who have ever smoked, tried alcohol or taken drugs. The report also explores the attitudes of school children towards smoking and drinking. Relationships between smoking, drinking and drug use are explored along with the links between smoking, drinking and drug use and other factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and previous truancy or exclusion.
