Great to see so much coverage of our research in the news today.
🚭A smoke-free England? It's not just about health. A new study led by @sheffielduni in collaboration with @UniofNottingham reveals it could boost the economy by £10.9 billion a year. That's £1776 per smoker & £246 for everyone. Read more👇.
