Delivering a Smokefree 2030: The role of supra-local tobacco control
Summary
Following the announcement of Public Health England (PHE) functions transferring in August 2020, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) identified the importance of securing a strong model for regional tobacco control delivery within a new public health infrastructure. In collaborating with the University of Nottingham they undertook research to understand the historical models for regional tobacco control and where stakeholders across the system saw the opportunities to further develop and embed these as part of an overarching strategy to secure the Government’s goal of a smokefree country by 2030.
This report sets out the findings of this research and makes recommendations for the future.
