Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 28 April 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of (a) current trends in levels of smoking and (b) whether those trends are on track to deliver the Government's smoke free target by 2030.
Smoking rates continue to decline and are currently approximately 13.5%. However, with variations across the country, there is further work to be done to meet the ambition to be smoke-free by 2030. We have established an independent review of tobacco control policies, which is expected to report in May 2022.
