London Tobacco Alliance
Nearly one million Londoners smoke, 10.6% of the capital’s population. Two in three people who smoke will die from smoking and smoking is the primary reason for the gap in life expectancy between those in the most deprived quintile and those in the least deprived quintile.
The London Tobacco Alliance has been created to combat the effects of this life-threatening addiction and achieve reduced smoking rates across London. Launched on the 26 October 2022, this collaborative first of a kind for London includes partners and stakeholders with an interest in making London smokefree.
The London Tobacco Alliance leads the regional approach to smoking cessation for London, facilitated by ADPH London.
Stop Smoking London is the delivery arm of the London Tobacco Alliance
Through its website and Smoke Free App support offer for London, this programme delivers participating boroughs sustained economies of scale through collaborative commissioning and promotion of digital stop smoking services. Stop Smoking London also signposts people who smoke to available, local face-to-face tobacco dependence services.
