David Ward MP has welcomed a new Government blueprint to cut smoking rates as "a major boost for health in Bradford." 
The key strands of the Coalition's Tobacco Control Plan include:
Commenting, David Ward said:
"At a time when hundreds of smokers in my constituency will be making some attempt to quit, I welcome the commitment to offer as much support as possible from local services to those smokers who wish to give up their dependence on nicotine.
"Reducing smoking rates is the single most effective means of improving public health. Smoking is the major cause of the differences in life expectancy between the richest and poorest in society. Smoking related diseases cause more deaths each year than alcohol, obesity, road accidents and illegal drugs combined.
"Stopping young people from ever starting to smoke will reap even greater long term rewards, and I support measures, such as putting tobacco out of sight in shops, so that today's children do not become the next generation to be hooked on nicotine."
