Petition Ban the sale and use of all cigarettes (including e-cigarettes) by 2030.

Each year, thousands of patients are forced to wait longer for treatment as the NHS deals with smoking related issues.

As well as immeasurable strain on our NHS, communities and children across the country are forced to deal with the intrusive social pollution of cigarette smoke and litter.

More details

In a 2018 report by the UK government it states "smoking remains our biggest preventable killer. In England alone, 78,000 people a year - or 200 per day - die from smoking. In addition to the human cost, smoking costs the economy £14.7 billion per year, £2.5 billion of which falls to the NHS."

Making smoking socially unacceptable alone will not be sufficient to stop the impact on the rest of our country.
