The government is planning on eliminating smoking from Britain under leaked plans published in the Daily Mail. Tobacco companies will be required to cover the cost of helping smokers to quit by 2030. Actions to help people quit include leaflets placed inside cigarette packets and targeting black market cigarettes. ‘The gains in tobacco control have been hard-won, and there’s still much to do,’ the plans say. ‘For the 15% of adults who are not yet smoke-free, smoking is the leading cause of ill-health and early death, and a major cause of inequalities. ‘That’s why the government wants to finish the job.’ ‘Extremely challenging’ The document describes the ambitious plans as ‘extremely challenging’, as smoking rates remain high in certain groups.
