Almost 60 years after the report Smoking and Health, researchers from the University of Bath鈥檚 Tobacco Control 69色情片 Group (TCRG) have contributed to a new report which reviews the UK鈥檚 progress in reducing smoking prevalence, and which sets out comprehensive recommendations for England鈥檚 forthcoming National Tobacco Control Plan. , Director of TCRG, is a member of the RCP鈥檚 Tobacco Advisory Group which has published the report.
The UK Government has set out an ambition for England to be smoke free by 2030. While smoking rates have declined, modelling in the RCP report suggests that under current tobacco control policies, a smoking prevalence of less than 5% won鈥檛 be achieved until after 2050. The report identifies a number of areas where action should be taken to address this, from reforming tax policy and eradicating media promotion of smoking, to raising the legal age of sale for tobacco products, and silencing the voice of the tobacco industry.
