Britain has toughest smoking controls in Europe, finds new report - Daily Mail 29th October 2008

Britain is the toughest country in Europe on smokers, a major survey revealed today. The survey, which ranked 27 European countries according to tobacco control measures, was carried out by the EU’s ‘Help – For a Life Without Tobacco’ campaign. Britain was ranked second, behind Ireland, in 2005, but has scored higher in subsequent years. The high rating has been put down to the elevated cost of tobacco in the UK, and better treatment programmes.
