This will require strategic recommendations to reduce the take up of smoking (prevention), increase the number of referrals into stop smoking services and support legislation locally, where applicable, to support a Smokefree generation.
•Develop a comprehensive Action Plan aligned to the strategy that delivers SMART objectives and outcomes for a range of Kent partners to sign up to.
