Tobacco Control
'Healthy Lives, Healthy People', a Tobacco Control plan for England, sets out how tobacco control will be delivered in the context of the new public health system. It focuses on the action that the Government will take over the next five years to drive down the prevalence of smoking and to support comprehensive tobacco control in local areas.
The plan is built around the six strands of comprehensive tobacco control:
- Stopping the promotion of tobacco
- Making tobacco less affordable
- Effective regulation of tobacco products
- Helping tobacco users to quit
- Reducing exposure to second hand smoke
- Effective communications for Tobacco Control
