1️⃣ Introduce a “Polluter Pays” levy 💷
Big Tobacco’s huge profits should help fund support for the 6 million smokers in the UK. A £700m annual levy could transform quit services and in the current economic climate, we can’t afford not to.

Absorbing the @who.int report on tobacco at the #WCTC2025 conference. Progress with challenges remaining @londonadph.bsky.social www.who.int/initiatives/...

Great to meet partners from other global cities to share ideas and approaches. Looking forward to continuing these partnerships to share experiences and learning

This is our theme today - to raise awareness that smoking actually makes stress worse @dredbeveridge.bsky.social @adphl.bsky.social @ashorguk.bsky.social @thriveldn.bsky.social @profkevinfenton.bsky.social @ldasneves.bsky.social #mentalhealth #smoking #stopsmokinglondon

Writing in @thegrocer.bsky.social, former @yougov.co.uk President Peter Kellner highlights strong public support - among all voter segments - for further action on tobacco policy, including a levy on Big Tobacco and extending outdoor smoking ban in pubs & cafes.

Was delighted to be at the APPG for smoking and tobacco earlier. Calling for a tobacco control strategy to ensure the Tobacco and Vapes Bill is part of a wider plan @ashorguk.bsky.social @adphl.bsky.social @cruk-mi.bsky.social @bhfpolicy.bsky.social
