To advise Committee of updates to the Tobacco Control Action Plan.

Members were advised of updates to the Tobacco Control Action Plan.

In December 2014, Broxtowe Borough Council signed up to the Nottinghamshire County and Nottingham City Declaration on Tobacco Control.

According to the National Health Service, smoking was one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK.  Smoking increases the risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. As part of the Council’s on-going commitment to reducing the health impacts of tobacco use, a tobacco Control Action Plan had been produced.

A query was raised if the vape bus and youth clubs could be implemented into the Action Plan to support stopping. This was agreed.

RESOLVEDthat the Tobacco Control Action Plan 2021-23 with the addition of the Vape bus and Youth Clubs to be added to the Action Plan be approved.
