No Tobacco Day 2023

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 32 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that 31 May is No Tobacco Day 2023, an annual campaign day promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) with the theme for 2023 being "We need food, not tobacco"; understands that smoking rates in Scotland are falling and that a new Scottish Government action plan is expected in 2023 in order to meet the ambition of smoking rates at 5% or less by 2034; considers that tobacco and vaping products are an increasing litter and waste problem in Scotland, with many of these being disposable and single-use products, and welcomes the campaigning by Asthma + Lung UK Scotland, ASH Scotland and British Heart Foundation Scotland, and many other third sector groups, to raise what it sees as the life-threatening and harmful impact of smoking on lung and cardiovascular health.
