Northern Ireland Tobacco Control Annual Report 2022-2023

Tobacco use is associated with a wide range of health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory diseases, and many other conditions. It not only harms the health of people who smoke, but also has significant negative effects on the health of non-users through exposure to second-hand smoke. 

There are also significant economic costs associated with tobacco use, including healthcare costs, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life.
