All health professions are clear that smoking causes multiple harms throughout life including stillbirths, lung disease, heart disease, stroke and dementia. 1 in 4 cancer deaths are caused by smoking. Most smokers regret starting. This Bill, if passed, will save lives.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, if passed, will prevent thousands of people being disabled or dying prematurely. Tobacco addicts people at a young age, taking their choices away and then killing them. The 4 UK CMOs support creating a smokefree generation.

All living UK Chief Medical Officers support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. Smoking kills and harms very large numbers. Most smokers wish they had never started but are trapped by addiction. A smoke-free generation would be a major health advance.

Smoking and vaping: the need for action

Last week I laid out how delaying disease so we spend less time in ill health in older age is possible, good for all and essential for a sustainable NHS. Most people prioritise quality of life over quantity, and medical practice should reflect that.

Is ill health and disability in older age inevitable? With a rapidly ageing population, many older people have multiple and complex conditions. In this sessi...

Like all doctors I have seen the struggle of people addicted to smoking trying to quit, as their addiction destroys their health, independence and life. Many die from smoking. Most smokers wish they had never started but their choices were taken away by addiction to nicotine.

Cervical cancer will be almost eliminated in coming decades if HPV vaccination rates are high in children. In England HPV vaccination coverage in schools is rising again but still below pre-pandemic levels. Please encourage children to get protected.

Concerns about sharing data should never be at the expense of patient care say @CMO_England @NDGoffice and @ICOnews . Their call to action encourages health and care staff to confidently and safely share data for patient care across organisations. ➡️

The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised. If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable. I expand on these points in the article below.

Professor Sir Chris Whitty writes for The Times that marketing vapes to children is unacceptable - they should only have a role in helping smokers quit.

Before vaccines, diseases such as meningitis, tetanus, measles, diphtheria and polio killed or disabled many children and young people. Effective vaccines massively reduced these risks. Please take up NHS recommended vaccines- they protect children, young people and families.

Great progress has been made to reduce outdoor air pollution in England, but we can and should go further – it is technically possible. Tackling indoor air pollution should now also be a priority. Today I publish my annual report on air pollution.
