Target for England to be smokefree by 2030 will not be met until 2039

Cancer Research UK says that the UK government is almost a decade behind achieving its target for England to be smokefree by 2030. It warns that, if recent trends continue, the target will now not be met until 2039, despite repeated warnings from the charity that data up to 2018 indicated the government was already seven years off track.
