About this event
We will be out with information on the Smoke-free campaign. The Halton Stop Smoking service will also join us to offer support to quit.
Nationally, the ambition is to create a smokefree generation, defined as fewer than 5% of people smoking across all demographic groups.
A key element of this is the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which aims to curb smoking and vaping by:
• Raising the age of sale for tobacco by one year every year, preventing those born after 2009 from ever legally purchasing tobacco.
• Introducing additional measures to restrict youth access to tobacco and vaping products.
Radically reducing smoking remains the single greatest opportunity to reduce health inequalities and improve healthy life expectancy.
