The UK has seen a significant decrease in smoking rates, with fewer than 10% of young adults now smoking cigarettes, a considerable drop from 25% twelve years ago.
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics indicate nearly 12% of UK adults smoke, down from 20% in 2011, showcasing the effectiveness of public health initiatives.
E-cigarettes are noted to be less harmful than traditional cigarettes, assisting some in quitting smoking, but non-smokers are warned against starting vaping.
To achieve a 'smoke-free' England by 2030, legislation will continue to tighten on cigarette sales and marketing, targeting younger population groups with the aim of reducing smoking rates.
