Abstract Title: Tobacco Control Strategy for Wales
One of the key themes being addressed in Our Healthy Future, Wales’ first strategic framework for public health, is further reducing smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke by building on the success of current initiatives. This includes the development of a Tobacco Control Strategy by autumn 2010. A stakeholder group has been established to inform the development of this strategy. The group includes representatives from health professions, local government, the academic and voluntary sectors, as well as experts in the areas of workplace health and young people.
