Recent data suggests that there has been an increase<br />in the number of young people turning to cigarettes. Here's everything<br />we know about the story so far.<br /><br />Researchers from University College London are calling on the<br />government to up their game when it comes to anti-smoking efforts.<br />This is because recent data suggests that the decline in smokers seen<br />in England over the past few years has slowed, with some believing<br />this is due to younger age groups taking up the habit.<br /><br />A few different contributing factors to the problem have been<br />suggested including loneliness and poor mental health, which were<br />exacerbated by the pandemic. There are also concerns that some of the<br />negative rhetoric around vaping has turned people away from<br />e-cigarettes, and onto tobacco products.<br /><br />Previously the government had set a target for England to be<br />smoke-free by twenty thirty, with additional funding being provided to<br />to stop smoking services. Wales also hopes to be smoke free by twenty<br />thirty, with Scotland hoping to follow suit by twenty thirty four.
