SMOKING/TOBACCO

A smokefree future: a comprehensive tobacco control strategy for England (1st February 2010)
This new tobacco control strategy for England establishes a vision of eradicating tobacco harms and creating a smokefree future, so that we can support people to live healthier and longer lives. The strategy follows on from a successful public consultation in 2008 on the future of tobacco control, which drew nearly 100,000 individual responses.

To deliver this vision, the strategy sets out three overarching objectives to make significant progress towards a smokefree society:
  1. To stop the inflow of young people recruited as smokers.
  2. To motivate and assist every smoker to quit.
  3. To protect families and communities.
