The Prime Minister announced a national vision for a ‘Smokefree Generation’, supported by the publication of the command paper Stopping the Start: Our New Plan to Create a Smokefree Generation. As part of this initiative, a significant funding programme was introduced to help current smokers quit, providing additional annual investment to strengthen local stop smoking services. Lincolnshire County Council entered into a grant agreement with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) to support this ambition. The funding is being used to enhance locally commissioned smoking cessation services, while ensuring that existing public health grant allocations for these services are maintained.
