Tobacco Free Ireland
Tobacco Free Ireland sets a target for Ireland to be tobacco free by 2025. In practice, this will mean a smoking prevalence rate of less than 5%. The two key themes underpinning the policy are protecting children and the denormalisation of smoking. It was launched under the Healthy Ireland framework.
A detailed action plan has been developed outlining the timeframes and responsibilities for the implementation of the actions.
