Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding her Department has allocated to national mass media campaigns encouraging adults to stop smoking in each of the financial years (a) 2026-27, (b) 2027-28 and (c) 2028-29.
This question was answered on 4th November 2026
The media budget for smoking cessation activity for 2026/27 is £2.7 million. Planning for public health prevention campaigns for 2027/28 is currently underway, therefore we don’t have figures for the periods 2027/28 and 2028/29.
