We know that many people who smoke will be getting ready to stop for good this week. Best advice? Use a stop-smoking aid and some expert support. Studies show that those who do are most likely to succeed

4️⃣ New data showed smoking rates continued to fall in 2025, with more people now vaping than smoking. Vaping has likely helped drive down smoking, which is v welcome. But uptake among non-smokers and young people remains a concern – we need swift Govt action in 2026.

Huge congratulations to former Chief Executive of ASH Deborah Arnott for winning the @btsrespiratory.bsky.social President's Medal last night.
As BTS said, Deborah has worked tirelessly for more than twenty years to reduce the harm caused by tobacco, and this award is very well deserved!

💰With the budget approaching, govt faces tough fiscal choices, but this one is simple. Tobacco companies make many millions in profits from products that kill half their users. These companies can and should pay more.
