1/2 Local authority and NHS leaders in the NE support creating a Smokefree Generation. 7/10 NE adults support raising the age of sale for tobacco, giving children a future free from the addiction, death and disease it inflicts.

🚭Local councils are driving a record expansion in stop smoking support. NEW ASH data shows 90% now prioritise tobacco control and quit success is up 34% since 2022/23. A major step toward a smokefree future and an end to the harm from tobacco.

Delivering Very Brief Advice (Ask, Advise, Act) is an evidence-based, #NICE-recommended responsibility for all healthcare professionals. Every smoker should be identified, advised on quitting, and offered support or referral to stop-smoking services. #SmokefreeNHS

Linzi has spent 3 years helping people quit with @NTCouncilTeam. In 25 years of stop smoking services, we've seen big changes – more NRT, emotional support & flexible appointments – all helping more people achieve a #SmokeFreeFuture 🔽

The tax gap (total tax avoided and evaded) for the UK in 2023-20224 was £46,800,000,000. It's not teachers or nurses avoiding tax. It's not people on PIP. It's not asylum seekers. It's the rich. It's the billionaires. Its Nigel Farage. It's the Tories.

We are proud to celebrate the incredible #TobaccoDependency teams across @NENC_NHS as we mark three years of impactful service delivery across our region. 👏 #SmokefreeNHS #Smokefreefuture #TDTS

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Zach Polanski, "We can stop the small boats criss. We could have safe and legal routes" "This is a manufactured crisis by the Conservative government and now the Labour government" "So many black and Asian communities in this country are terrified because the whole frame of the migration crisis is a racist fascist frame" "There is a sense the country is broken. And they're right" "But the answer is not to blame migrants or asylum seekers" "The answer is to point at the private jets, teh private yachts, and to the multi millionaires and billionaires, and to say, we will fund our public services, we will build council houses, we will invest in our NHS" Simple, succinct 👏

➡️ Watch Jeremy's Quit Story - Does any of this sound familiar? ⬅️ Jeremy started smoking at the age of 14. After being a smoker for a steady 34 years and concerned about his health and being there for his children, Jeremy decided to make a change. youtu.be/bPsuJC8lyiY?si=4gea…
