Trends in smoking characteristics and quitting activity among women of reproductive age compared with all adults in England, October 2013 to October 2023, Panels show trends in (A) the proportion of current cigarette smokers mainly smoking hand-rolled (vs. manufactured) cigarettes, (B) the geometric mean level of dependence among current smokers, (C) the proportion of past-year smokers making ≥ 1 past-year quit attempt, and (D) the proportion of past-year smokers who made ≥ 1 past-year quit attempt who were still not smoking at the time of the survey. Lines represent modelled weighted prevalence (or mean, for level of dependence) by monthly survey wave, modelled non-linearly using restricted cubic splines (five knots). Shaded bands represent 95% confidence intervals. Corresponding figures showing trends stratified by occupational social grade are provided in Fig. 4
