No Smoking Day 2024. I'm starting the day on @TimesRadio discussing why further regulation is needed to create a #smokefreegeneration and why there is no time to waste to stop tobacco companies addicting the next generation
Huge thanks to the amazing @FreshSmokeFree team and other NE colleagues who are in parliament today on #NoSmokingDay advocating for the legislation around increased age of sale for tobacco.
Huge support from the NE on this lifesaving legislation!
Nelson, who made a quit attempt with the support of the inpatient tobacco dependency service at @CNTWNHS , shares his top tip for people looking to make a quit attempt:
Tobacco taxes up by RPI (10.10%) plus 2% (95p on a pack of 20 cigs) Increase on RYO 6% (£1.75 on 30g pack). Minimum Excise Tax up 3% above RPI setting effective floor price for 20 cigs of £11.97 https://t.co/scJqywBbHf
🆕📰Our statement from Director Ailsa Rutter OBE on the #SpringBudget announcement on increasing tobacco taxes. Price is a key motivator to quit smoking, and increases will reduce smoking rates and save lives as a result. Read our full response ⬇️
