I assume a deprived area means there is not a lot of money about? seems to be enough for these poor folk to buy ciggies though.
One of the effects of nicotine is to suppress appetite, so smoking a cigarette helps people skip a meal that they can't afford to pay for.
Giving them vouchers they can use for food is probably better for them and for the baby, or we can just go all Daily Mail on them...
