I am very pleased
that according to latest figures Wales has seen a drop in the proportion of
people who smoke, As reported in the Western mail on the 22nd May
the results of the Welsh Health Survey show that the percentage of adults who
smoke fell from 23% to 21% between 2012 and 2013. This is certainly a
substantial move in the right direction in one year. Whilst there will be many
reasons for it, I would like to highlight two important actions in Wales that
have certainly helped. The first is the banning of smoking in pubs and clubs
which has certainly reduced temptation and the second is the work on running
smoking cessation groups by community first clusters in Wales,
I hope next year
to be welcoming a further reduction in the number smoking.
