Smoking
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate his Department has made of daily smoking levels in the UK each year for the next 15 years.
- Answer
-
The Department does not collect data on daily smoking levels, and has made no estimate of daily smoking rates on an annual basis going forward. The Tobacco Control Plan for England, published in July, set out the Government’s ambition to reduce adult smoking prevalence to 12% by 2022, and to achieve a smokefree generation (5% adult prevalence or less) in the longer-term.
