Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what modelling his Department has conducted to estimate that England will reach a smoking prevalence rate of 5 per cent by 2030.

We have announced measures to help more people in England quit smoking. These include a new national swap to stop scheme to provide vapes to one million smokers, and a financial incentives scheme to help all pregnant smokers to quit. We are confident that these new measures, in addition to the actions we are already taking, will set us on course to achieve our Smokefree 2030 ambition, and we will monitor progress.
