The move is a key part of the government's drive to reduce smoking-related deaths and disease. To highlight the introduction of the ban, Secretary of State for Health Alan Milburn and Public Health Minister Hazel Blears today pulled down a 48-sheet tobacco billboard advert in Lambeth to reveal the message "Tobacco Advertising - we can live without it. Don't give up giving up" Alan Milburn said, "Tobacco advertising and sponsorship have acted as a recruiting sergeant for children and young teenagers to start the tobacco habit. Adverts have sought to get more people to smoke by conveying the idea that smoking is glamorous when in fact it is dangerous.

Every day in 2002, approximately 1.6 million people in Britain would have seen a tobacco billboard.

The Act also restricts internet advertising, brings an end to sponsorship of tobacco products through sporting or other events and will limit the promotion of tobacco products in places where they are sold. The Act is part of an integrated package of tobacco control measures. We're also dedicating resource and expertise to helping people who want to give up smoking. This includes major education campaigns; making Nicotine Replacement Therapy available on prescription and introducing free, world-class Stop Smoking services throughout the country as well as a free advice and information service via the NHS Smoking Helpline (0800 169 0 169).

There are over 100 throughout the country, offering a range of services including one- to-one meetings and group discussions with trained cessation advisors. In 2001-2, over 225,000 people set a quit date in consultation with their local service, and 53% of these successfully gave up. 3. No Smoking Day this year is on 12 March.

The move is a key part of the government's drive to reduce smoking-related deaths and disease. To highlight the introduction of the ban, Secretary of State for Health Alan Milburn and Public Health Minister Hazel Blears today pulled down a 48-sheet tobacco billboard advert in Lambeth to reveal the message "Tobacco Advertising - we can live without it. Don't give up giving up" Alan Milburn said, "Tobacco advertising and sponsorship have acted as a recruiting sergeant for children and young teenagers to start the tobacco habit. Adverts have sought to get more people to smoke by conveying the idea that smoking is glamorous when in fact it is dangerous. They have tried to get more people to smoke by pretending it enhances quality of life when in fact it serves to shorten people's lives. "The ban which begins today is a policy we have fought for over the last five years. First, in the European Union, then in the European courts and in the British courts. At all stages this measure has been resisted by the tobacco industry. In the last Parliament we introduced a Bill to ban tobacco advertising which completed all its stages in the House of Commons but failed to make it through the House of Lords. The Bill eventually became law in November last year. "Advertising works; smoking kills. Today, we are breaking the link between the two. With this ban in place we can continue our efforts to reduce the number of people who smoke and who take up smoking every year. By doing so, we will be saving lives." Every day in 2002, approximately 1.6 million people in Britain would have seen a tobacco billboard. The next stage in the implementation of the Act, will be a ban on in-pack promotion schemes and remaining direct marketing from 14 May. The Act also restricts internet advertising, brings an end to sponsorship of tobacco products through sporting or other events and will limit the promotion of tobacco products in places where they are sold. The Act is part of an integrated package of tobacco control measures. We're also dedicating resource and expertise to helping people who want to give up smoking. This includes major education campaigns; making Nicotine Replacement Therapy available on prescription and introducing free, world-class Stop Smoking services throughout the country as well as a free advice and information service via the NHS Smoking Helpline (0800 169 0 169). The government is also working with charities Cancer Research UK and British Heart Foundation to produce new hard-hitting campaigns. Sir Paul Nurse, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK says: "This Valentine's Day Cancer Research UK is delighted to be kissing goodbye to tobacco advertising. "Our research has shown that tobacco advertising discourages existing smokers from trying to quit, and it encourages new smokers to take up the habit. At present 450 British children start smoking every day. We expect to see this figure drop as a result of this life-saving legislation, and congratulate the government on a victory for public health." Professor Sir Charles George, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation said: "One in five deaths from coronary heart disease are related to smoking therefore we welcome the new government legislation banning smoking advertising. The ban will take much of the glamour out of smoking, discouraging young people from starting this killer habit and making it easier for those who wish to quit."
