Rejected petition Give more physical support for smokers, and recognise that nicotine is addictive

More recognition and physical help is needed for smokers of tobacco, as nicotine is just as addictive as alcohol is to an alcoholic, so how is it that alcoholism is recognised as an illness and addiction to nicotine isn't.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. The NHS already provides support for smokers, so we're not sure what additional action you'd like to see.

You can find out more about NHS services for smokers here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
