Some Health Facts

Scottish Health Survey revealed Scotland’s well-established habits of smoking, alcohol and poor diet persist, and that has a death toll of its own.

Smoking, the one area which has seen some bold legislation, still claims over 10,000 lives a year. 

There are 22 alcohol-related deaths a week.

Two-thirds of Scots are overweight or obese, contributing to the burden of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and poor mental health.
