PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Smoking (3 December 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much his Department has spent on campaigns to promote the cessation of smoking in 2018-19; and what funding his Department plans to allocated to cessation campaigns in 2018-19.

Asked by:
Bob Blackman (Conservative)

Public Health England runs smoking cessation campaigns. Media spend to date during 2018/19 on campaigns to promote the cessation of smoking is £1.2 million.

£2.4 million has been allocated in total for the media spend on cessation campaigns in 2018/19.

As the 2018/19 financial year is not yet complete and campaign work is ongoing, these figures should be considered provisional. Figures are net plus agency fees and commissions (rounded to the nearest £100,000). Figures exclude Value Added Tax.
