It’s missing the introduction of vapes. As far as I know, vapes are, orat least were treated like other smoking cessation products by the NHS.

What surprises me is that it seems an the laws didn’t really impact the decline in progress, I’d had thought it would have gone down loads with banning indoor smoking

Wait, 80% of the 16+ population either are or were smokers?
That’s more than I thought.
