The Future of Tobacco Control Consultation Questionnaire
Approximately, 25% of the UK population currently smoke. Smoking
continues to be the main cause of preventable illness and premature
death in England. It causes around 87,000 deaths per year through a
number of smoking-related illnesses.
As part of the Department of Health’s national consultation on
the future of tobacco control, The City of London Corporation, City
and Hackney PCT and Hackney Council would like to gather views from
the local business community to feed into its consultation
response. Your views are extremely important to us and will help to
shape England’s long-term tobacco control strategy.
The consultation is open from 4 August and will close 29
August.
View the consultation documents and complete our
survey online.
