A report on the consultation on the future of tobacco control.
The Department of Health published a consultation paper entitled ‘Consultation on the future of tobacco control’, on 31 May 2008. This consultation was the first step in developing a new national tobacco control strategy, and covered four main areas:
- Reducing smoking rates and health inequalities caused by smoking;
- Protecting children and young people from smoking;
- Supporting smokers to quit; and
- Helping those who cannot quit
The consultation closed on 8 September and this report summarises the responses which were received. It aims to provide a representative summary of all the responses, drawing out key themes and messages. The consultation report has been provided to Ministers to support their decision-making on future tobacco control policy.
