Wales aims to become smoke-free by 2030
Wales plans to become a smoke-free country by 2030, with less than 5% of adults smoking actively.

According to reports, the Welsh government has recently developed a plan to make Wales a smoke-free nation within the next eight years.


The established goal of this plan is for the proportion of active smokers among the adult population of Wales to not exceed 5% by 2030. The plan includes implementing smoking cessation programs, exploring the use of e-cigarettes as a cessation method, and increasing efforts to combat the illegal tobacco market in Wales.
