United Kingdom Background
Źródło danych: 2025.   Strona zaktualizowana: 2025-12-11

In the United Kingdom, smoking is allowed but tobacco products are subject to certain regulations. Under these regulations, there is a complete ban on all forms of tobacco advertising. Cigarettes can be purchased online, but not through vending machines. The importation of cigarettes for trade is allowed with an import license. Additionally, health warnings on cigarette packaging are required, and the minimum legal age for purchase is 18 years. Legal restrictions on smoking in public places are also enforced. Cigarettes in the UK are subject to an excise tax of 50.56% and a total taxation rate of 83.72%.

Statistics show a gradual decline in the current smoking prevalence in the UK since 2000. There were approximately 6.7 million current adult smokers in the country in 2024, representing an adult current smoking prevalence of 11.8%. This was 13.1% in 2022, and 27.1% in 2000. Smoking prevalence was higher among males (13.6%) than among females (10.1%) in 2024. In 2021, smoking led to 75,848 deaths in the UK, of which 44,400 deaths were among males and 31,448 deaths were among females. This shows that smoking consisted 11.05% of all deaths in the country, including 12.6% of all male deaths and 9.42% of all female deaths.

Wielka Brytania wolna od dymu tytoniowego? Jak badania, polityka i e-papierosy przyczyniły się do zmniejszenia liczby palaczy

Liczba osób korzystających z e-papierosów w United Kingdom wkrótce po raz pierwszy przekroczy liczbę osób palących. Niniejszy dokument informacyjny analizuje postępy United Kingdom w dążeniu do stania się krajem wolnym od dymu tytoniowego, przedstawiając zarówno sukcesy, jak i wyzwania.


Redukcja szkód wywołanych paleniem tytoniu a osoby borykające się z bezdomnością – brytyjska perspektywa

Przy tak wysokim odsetku palenia wśród osób doświadczających bezdomności lub śpiących pod gołym niebem w Wielkiej Brytanii niniejszy Briefing Paper analizuje potencjał redukcji szkód związanych z tytoniem w zakresie zmniejszania nierówności zdrowotnych obserwowanych w tej szczególnie narażonej populacji.


Wielka Brytania i tytoń: skuteczne elementy strategii redukcji szkód oraz szansa na wpłynięcie na międzynarodową reakcję na palenie

Wielka Brytania jest światowym liderem w redukcji szkód związanych z tytoniem (THR), ale wciąż może zrobić więcej. W tym artykule twierdzimy, że COP9 daje Wielkiej Brytanii doskonałą okazję, by zarówno zaprezentować swoje osiągnięcia w zakresie THR na światowej scenie, jak i promować korzyści płynące z bezpieczniejszych produktów nikotynowych.
