Council bosses have endorsed measures to make North Tyneside “smoke free” in less than 10 years.
North Tyneside council’s health and wellbeing board was recommended to endorse proposals made in a Government paper, ‘The Khan Review - Making Smoking Obsolete’, to make the whole of the UK smoke free by 2030.
‘Smoke free’ is defined by the Government as five per cent or less of the population smoking.
