<p>The Government is taking a range of steps to help people quit smoking. We know
the single best thing a smoker can do for their health is to quit smoking. We continue
to provide funding to local authority stop smoking services via the Public Health
Grant. This dedicated, personalised support is vital to help people quit smoking for
good. In October, we held our successful Stoptober campaign. Since its inception in
2012, this campaign has helped more than 2.1 million people quit smoking.</p><p> </p><p>The
Department also works closely with the National Health Service on smoking cessation.
As part of the Long-Term Plan, the NHS is committed to delivering tobacco treatment
services to all inpatients, pregnant women and people accessing long-term mental health
and learning disability services.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains committed to
our ambition for England to be Smokefree by 2030 and we will set out further action
to achieve this very soon.</p>
