Bat Yam Has Israel's Highest Smoking Rate, but Children's Dental Health Shows Improvement
Published
According to data published recently, the city of Bat Yam ranks first in Israel for smoking rates. The share of smokers among both men and women in this city is higher than in other cities.
The data show that smoking is still very widespread in the city, and it is an important issue for residents and for the health system. The city tops the list on both measures, among men and among women.
In addition, a new indicator on dental checkups for children shows an improvement in the overall situation. However, the indicator also shows large gaps between different groups in the population. In other words, not all children receive the same care, and the improvement is not equally evident in all areas and groups.
