Oxfordshire tobacco control strategy 2026-2030

Tell us your ambitions, priorities and suggestions to make Oxfordshire a smokefree county.


Smoking is a behaviour known to increase the risk of serious illness and premature death and stopping smoking is the best thing an individual can do for their health and well-being. A broad range of services are in place to prevent people from taking up smoking in the first place and to support those who smoke tobacco to quit, and these services are referred to as “Tobacco Control”. Having a comprehensive Tobacco Control Strategy is one of the best things we can do for the public’s health.


This year, we are refreshing the Oxfordshire Tobacco Control Strategy (OTCS) for 2026-2030. The strategy aims to outline the priorities and targets that the Tobacco Control Alliance partners should come together to achieve and focus our actions where they are most needed.


Have your say:


In this survey you can tell us about your priorities for the Oxfordshire Tobacco Control Strategy and what actions you think need to happen to make Oxfordshire smokefree, support people who smoke to quit and prevent others from taking up smoking or vaping.

 

What you tell us will help to inform the strategy for the next five years and will underpin our key priorities during that time.


This survey should take between 10 - 15 minutes to complete, depending on the detail that you wish to add.

Please submit your response by the closing date of 1 June 2025.
