Episode 6: Smoke-Free Future: Tackling tobacco and vaping for the health of the public
Manage episode 435024544 series 2831176
The World Health Organisation highlights the tobacco epidemic as one of the greatest public health crises in history, claiming over 8 million lives annually. Over 7 million of these deaths stem from direct tobacco use, while around 1.3 million are due to second-hand smoke exposure among non-smokers. The scale of the human and economic tragedy that tobacco imposes is shocking, and preventable.
In this month’s episode, our experts Professor Jamie Brown and Hazel Cheeseman discuss the increasing political and public support for a smoke-free generation, proposed legislative changes, and their potential impact on smoking rates and improving the health of the public in the UK.
This episode offers valuable insights into the future of tobacco control in the UK for policymakers, public health professionals, and the public.
