I'm not sure I would see is as sensitive personal data, although I
understand it may be relevant for health reasons. My view is that if I was
asked this question and it was not relevant I might refuse to answer. If it
was obviously needed, e.g. for life insurance, then I would answer in the
context that the other data was being given, i.e. confidential.
Is "I am a smoker" relevant as "physical or mental health or condition"?
Maybe it is in some instances and not in another. Depends on the use of that
data maybe?
I would be interested to see other views. An interesting one.
Simon Howarth.

Do you smoke?
If this question were asked on a form, would you consider this to be
sensitive personal data requiring a Schedule 3 condition to be met?
