For the second week, the recurring theme was the Article 20 Legal Challenge with the handover to the Department of Health on the 29th September. This coincided with a large NHS trust going ‘smokefree’ and the proposals for a prison smoking ban.
Rounding off the week was the launch of the ‘Stoptober’ campaign that strangely coincided with the release of “low nic cigarettes” research and how e-cigarettes could affect “Big Tobacco”.
