Smoking and health 2021: A coming of age for tobacco control?

Almost 60 years after the RCP's first report on tobacco, Smoking and health, published in 1962, this new report from the RCP's Tobacco Advisory Group reviews the UK's progress in reducing smoking prevalence, and sets out comprehensive recommendations for England's forthcoming National Tobacco Control Plan.

President, Royal College of Physicians Andrew Goddard said: "Too many UK generations have been blighted by addiction to tobacco. To ensure that those born today live their lives tobacco-free, we must take the necessary steps to make smoking obsolete. In a historic time of medicine showing it can solve the health crises that come its way, this is our opportunity to make smoking and tobacco addiction history."
