About Smokefree Action
The Smokefree Action Coalition is a group of organisations listed below committed to promoting public health. We came together initially to lobby for smokefree workplaces and are now committed to reducing the harm caused by tobacco more generally. You can click here to visit our previous website which contains details of the campaign for smokefree legislation
Our Objective Our Mission Our case put simply Member Organisations
To continue to reduce the harm from tobacco by ensuring that an effective, fully funded comprehensive tobacco control strategy remains a central element of government health policy.
Smoking is still the major preventable cause of death and disease and inequalities in health, killing over 100,000 people across the UK each year. One in four adults still smoke, and children of smokers remain exposed to secondhand smoke. The Smokefree Action Coalition wants the UK Government to develop and implement an adequately funded comprehensive tobacco control strategy in order to keep driving down smoking rates and protect people from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.
The UK is a world leader in tobacco control policy yet tobacco continues to cause over 100,000 deaths per year. Smokers and non smokers, adults and children, all suffer from the burden of tobacco smoke. Some groups suffer more than others and the higher rates of smoking among lower socio economic groups increases health inequalities. It isn’t a simple matter of choice, it is hard for smokers to quit because nicotine is very addictive. There is much more that can be done to reduce the harm caused by smoking to smokers and those around them. The public are keen for further tobacco reform. The answer is not to introduce isolated policies, but rather to develop a systematic strategy across government departments including Health, Education, Business & Enterprise and Revenue & Customs.
