Telford and Wrekin: More smokers need to set quit date
Health officials in Telford and Wrekin aim to reduce smoking rates, with 21,580 adult smokers, especially in deprived areas. Efforts include a "smoke-free alliance" and investing in anti-vaping campaigns. The council is allocating funds for smoking cessation services. Despite a decrease in quitters, vaping among teens is rising. Aiming for a smoke-free future, authorities are inspired by success in other regions. Discussions are ongoing to expand the alliance beyond Telford and Wrekin. The initiative seeks to combat smoking and vaping among adults and youth.
