| The UK National Smoking Cessation Conference is the world's largest event for the smoking cessation field, and is a vital component in the individual and collective development of the UK smoking cessation field. At the 2012 UK National Smoking Cessation Conference we look forward to welcoming you to another exciting event with a top quality programme. We have brought together national and international experts in the field of smoking cessation and tobacco control in addition to 'real world' presentations from the field. As well as research updates and clinical innovations we will consider the implications of the shift of responsibility for the delivery of tobacco control and the commissioning of stop smoking services from the NHS to Local Authorities.
