Methodology for allocations

We based the additional funding for each area on the proportion of smokers in England, in each local authority. This funding targets local authorities with the most smokers.

We divided the additional funding by the total number of smokers across England. This gives an approximate funding rate per smoker. We then multiplied this funding rate per smoker by the estimated number of smokers in each local authority, to give a total allocation.
