Quitting activity, overall and by social grade. Panels show trends in the prevalence of A) cessation and B making at least one quit attempt in the past year among past-year smokers (unweighted n: overall = 17,964, ABC1 = 8802, C2DE = 9162), and C the weighted geometric mean number of past-year quit attempts among past-year smokers who made at least one quit attempt (unweighted n: overall = 5754, ABC1 = 2908, C2DE = 2846), June 2017 to August 2022. Lines represent modelled weighted prevalence (or means) over the study period, adjusted for covariates. Points represent unadjusted weighted prevalence (or means) by month. The vertical dashed line indicates the timing of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in England (March 2020). Corresponding data without adjustment for dependence are shown in Additional File 5: Fig. 1 and Additional File 5: Table 4.
