The number of people using the NHS in England to stop smoking has fallen for the first time in four years, official figures show.

Health and Social Care Information Centre data showed an 11% fall in the number of people setting a "quit date" last year.

Campaigners said it was a "worrying" development.

However, the overall success rate for finally quitting smoking increased to 52%.
