Abstract
Preventing smoking through effective individual and population interventions remains the biggest opportunity to improve public health in the UK. In this presentation I will review progress from the first reports of the health impacts of tobacco smoking to the present day, and review the challenges we now face in reducing uptake and prevalence of smoking in the future.
