Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the potential link between stopping smoking and obesity levels.
This question was answered on 9th June 2016
The Department has made no such assessment.
Smoking and obesity are both significant public health challenges and the Government is taking action to tackle both.
We will publish a new tobacco control plan to reduce smoking rates even further and our Childhood Obesity Strategy will be published this summer.
