Love hearing how we need to go faster than farther than ever before to reach our ambition of a Smokefree 2030 and reduce inequalities @HistoryMakersGM @MatthewEvison1
The damage caused by cigarette companies is staggering including heart disease, stroke, COPD, lung cancer and multiple other cancers.
Most smokers wish to quit but cannot as the industry has addicted them at a young age - their choice has been taken away.
Bold action is needed
Just published. @JavedKhanCEO Review contains 15 recommendations, but he has identified four critical first-tier recommendations, ‘must-dos’ for the Govt. https://t.co/nRUMoDuG0k #khanreview#smokefree2030
We welcome the independent #KhanReview review into action needed to achieve a #smokefree society in England.

We're delighted to see such a huge commitment to reducing smoking rates within the #KhanReview. A #smokefree2030 is possible if we act now!
Our clinical lead Dr @MatthewEvison1 explains how vitally important it is to protect future generations from the harms of smoking ⬇️
An independent review into tobacco control led by @JavedKhanCEO has been published today.
It makes a series of recommendations aimed to support the government to meet its #Smokefree2030 ambition and tackle health disparities.
More about the #KhanReview https://t.co/PVsUoKXiVu
Smokefree 2030 cannot happen without adequate & sustainable funding for tobacco control.
This is what we've been calling for, & we're pleased the #KhanReview agrees with @CR_UK, & others across the sector like @AshOrgUK, @BHFpolicy, @asthmalunguk, @R_S_P_H, & @FreshSmokeFree.🧵
The #KhanReview recommendations for #MakingSmokingObsolete have just been published and here are the highlights.
There are 15 recommendations in all, but four "must-do"s if the Government is to deliver a #Smokefree2030
“Healthcare leaders welcome @JavedKhanCEO’s review into tobacco control, but the Government’s ambition of becoming smoke-free by 2030 will only be achieved if we adopt a whole-system approach.”

“We must do everything we can to stop the uptake of tobacco in children and young people so we fully support raising the age of sale, as recommended in today’s review," says Professor Agrawal @LeicesterLungs, chair of the RCP's Tobacco Advisory Group.
