«Breaking News» Last cigarette smoked in England will be put out in 2050, scientists claim

The last cigarette to be smoked in England will be in Derby by 2050, researchers have predicted.

According to a new report, if the current decline in smoking continues, then today’s 7.4 million smokers will reduce to zero in 30 years.

Increased use of NHS services to help people quit, the popularity of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco account for the decline, but Public Health England said vaping should be tried by more smokers to further reduce rates, the Mirror reported. 

The last cigarette to be smoked in England will be in Derby by 2050, research commissioned by tobacco giant Philip Morris has predicted 

'Regular e-cigarette use is plateauing. There is an opportunity to further reduce the harms caused by tobacco by encouraging more smokers to try vaping,' the organisation said.   

And they predict Bristol will become the first city to quit by having no smokers after 2024, followed by York and Wokingham, Berkshire, in 2026.

The predictions in the study, commissioned by tobacco firm Philip Morris and conducted by analysts Frontier Economics, were based on employment, income, education and health data.  

In 1990, almost a third of British adults smoked, but that figure has halved to around 15 per cent since then.  

Philip Morris's increasing focus on smoke-free products signals the firm's aim to stop producing cigarettes altogether.  

Director of Corporate Affairs Mark MacGregor said: 'There are more alternative options than ever to help people give up cigarettes for good.' 

Increased use of NHS services to help people quit, the popularity of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco account for the decline, but Public Health England said vaping should be tried by more smokers to further reduce rates 

The news comes despite the fact that one in five people in deprived areas are still smokers. 

Around 22 per cent of people in Kingston upon Hull, Blackpool and North Lincolnshire still light up.

Researchers have previously said that the decision to remove cigarettes from display in shops played an 'important role in reducing child smokers'.  

The UK Government made it illegal to have cigarettes on show on the shelf in 2015 in a crackdown on smoking.

And scientists then found that the number of children who have bought cigarettes from a shop since the ban has dropped by 17 per cent.

Researchers from Imperial College London quizzed 18,000 children over how often they smoke and where they get cigarettes from. 

Just 40 per cent of children who smoked in 2016 bought their cigarettes in shops – down from 57 per cent in 2010, the study showed.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
