A
This,
of
course,
is
being
broadcast
it's
being
webcast
at
the
moment.
So
peter
would
you
like
to
start
by
inter
introducing
the
tobacco
control
plan
and
the
smoke
free
play
park
scheme.
B
Of
course,
thanks,
glancer
ensemble,
so
the
the
paper
that
we've
got
before
us,
as
you
say,
has
got
two
related
components
to
it.
So
I'll
talk
about.
First
of
all,
the
tobacco
control
plan
for
the
city
of
york
and
then
a
little
bit
about
the
smoke
free
play
areas
work.
B
The
the
burden
of
smoking
on
health
in
york
is
is
still
high.
We
we
see
probably
around
20
000
people
a
year
who
describe
themselves
as
current
smokers
in
the
city
at
the
moment
and
it's
the
largest
preventable
cause
of
ill
health.
B
So,
from
a
public
health
perspective,
a
mindful
of
the
council's
duties
and
commitments
to
improve
the
health
health
of
its
residents,
smoking
and
tobacco
are
really
important
and
and
supporting
people
to
quit
and
preventing
people
from
taking
up
smoking
is
something
that
we
are
putting
some
focus
on
and
have
for
a
number
of
years
supported
that
kind
of
work
and
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
we've
done
a
lot
more
work
with
partners
on
that
and
about
a
year
ago
we
started
the
york
tobacco
control
alliance,
which
I
chair,
which
is
a
meeting
of
partners
from
different
bits
of
health
and
care
and
beyond
system.
B
So
we
have
gps.
We
have
people
from
the
hospital,
trust,
midwives
and
lots
of
representatives
and
bits
of
the
council
looking
at
tobacco
and
smoking
and
how
we
drive
down
the
rates
of
people
who
smoke
in
york
and
and
help
and
support
them
to
quit
smoking
and
get
rid
of
an
addiction.
B
The
the
work
of
the
alliance
encompasses
lots
of
things,
so
the
alliance
has
been
looking
at
illicit
tobacco
and
the
market
for
tobacco,
which
is
sold
at
less
than
usual
retail
price
and
taxes
being
avoided,
which
is
one
really
well
established
mechanism
for
helping
control
tobacco
is
the
taxation
of
tobacco
and
making
sure
that,
for
instance,
regulations
on
sales
to
under
18s
are
really
well
enforced.
B
We
we're
looking
at
how
we
support
people
who
are
pregnant
to
stop
smoking,
which
is,
is
something
that's
really
important,
both
from
from
their
health,
but
also
the
health
of
the
the
child,
and
we
look
at
things
like
the
policies
that
different
organizations
might
have
and
their
workforce
might
have
around
smoking
looking
at,
particularly
how
we
support
workforce
and
workplaces
with
that
tricky
decisions
around
smoking
and
electronic
cigarettes
e-cigarettes,
and
then
I
guess.
B
Lastly-
and
you
know
the
key
thing
that
we
do-
is
try
and
support
and
maintain
a
really
high
quality
cessation
service
that
the
council
delivers,
but
also
other
bits
of
the
health
system
in
york
that
health
professionals
are
helping
people
to
quit
in.
If
that's
just
a
short
brief
intervention
and
conversation
about
smoking
or
in
some
some
bits
of
of
york,
there
are
other
areas
where
which
are
offering
that
smoking
cessation
work.
B
So
the
tobacco
control
plan
wraps
all
of
that
up
in
a
bit
of
a
plan
that
the
alliance
is
leading
on.
It
has
got
a
really
good
representation
of
the
saying
across
the
system,
and
I
think
it's
a
really
positive
thing
to
have
a
plan
for
the
city
and
the
reason
we're
bringing
it
to
this
decision
session.
Obviously,
it's
it's
a
partnership
plan
and
the
health
and
well-being
board
have
have
had
a
conversation
about
it,
but
a
lot
of
the
resources.
B
The
commitments
within
the
plan
do
fall
on
the
council,
as
the
statutory
body
responsible
for
public
health,
but
also
other
bits
of
the
council
trading
standards
are
children's
services.
Colleagues,
people
working
in
social
care
for
whom
there's
commitments
within
these
plans
and
because
of
that,
the
council
taking
a
really
clear
decision
to
sign
it.
We
think
it's
a
really
positive
move
and
I'm
really
glad
to
have
the
opportunity
to
to
put
this
to
your
decision
session
today.
Council
runs
and
gets
the
council's
commitment
to
this.
Thank.
B
Yeah,
of
course,
so
we
have
a
couple
of
midwives
from
york,
teaching
hospital
trust.
We
have
a
respiratory
consultant
and
the
community
respiratory
nurse
who
works
out
from
the
trust,
but
in
the
community,
mainly
around
asthma,
copd
and
other
respiratory
diseases
which
are
heavily
linked
to
smoking.
B
B
We
have
our
stop
smoking
service,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
practitioners
involved
and
a
number
of
them
attend
as
well,
and
then
we
have
a
gp
representative
who
comes
to
represent
the
gp
community
and
primary
care
is,
is
really
important
within
this,
and
we've
got
a
number
of
other
partners
who
have
engaged
with
us
really
well
so
so.
Pharmacy
will
be
a
good
example
of
that
and
community
pharmacy
in
north
yorkshire
so
that
it's
quite
a
wide
representation
and
we're
trying
all
the
time
to
encourage
new
members
to
join.
B
So
over
the
last
decade,
we've
really
seen
a
great
reduction.
Who
can
take
the
credit
for
that?
That
is
an
interesting
question
and,
and
smoking
is
a
it's
it's
a
national
issue
and
the
reduction
in
rates
is
related
to
lots
of
things.
I
think
people
are
getting
the
message
that
smoking
is
bad
for
them.
However,
tobacco
is
more
addictive
than
heroin
as
a
substance
and
actually
getting
rid
of
that
addiction
is
really
hard
and
that's
why
we
try
to
create
a
culture
which
we
don't
base
things
on,
blame
or
stigma.
B
We
base
things
on
support,
but
it's
really
hard
to
get
rid
of
tobacco
from
your
life.
So,
let's
support
you
really
well,
let's
put
the
services
in
place
that
are
based
on
the
evidence
because
really
good
evidence
about
what
does
and
what
doesn't
work
for
for
quitting.
So
the
rates
have
have
really.
I
think,
they've
halved
over
the
last
decade
in
york,
from
from
around
about
one
in
five
to
around
about
one
in
ten.
B
The
way
that
we
measure
smoking
in
york
is
through
a
national
survey,
which
then
breaks
it
down
by
local
authority
by
the
time
you
get
down
to
local
authority
that
the
numbers
that
are
in
the
survey
are
not
small
but
they're,
not
huge,
so
the
rates
fluctuate
year
one
year
a
little
bit.
We
can't
put
too
much
store
by
a
small
change,
but
we
can
say
compared
to
2010.
A
Tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
the
smoking
in
play.
Parks
paper.
B
Yeah,
so
so
the
council
has
directly
about
50
players
under
its
control,
so
these
are
you
know,
facilities
for
the
children
with
adult
supervision
more
often
than
not
with
some
kind
of
fence
boundary.
There's,
though,
some
don't
and
they're
they're
dispersed
across
the
city,
we've
probably
got
another
40
or
50,
others
that
are
within
council
direct
control,
they're
owned
by
trusts
or
or
different
organizations.
So
we're
we're
not
talking
about
them
in
this
paper,
they're,
not
on
the
council
control,
but
for
the
for
the
council-controlled
ones.
B
They
are
areas
in
which
obviously
children
are
regularly
present
in
but
adults
supervising
children
and
also
quite
visible,
often
the
center
of
larger
park
and
green
space
facilities
with
lots
of
people
using
them
that
don't
necessarily
have
children,
and
there
are
a
few
areas
around
the
country
which
have
implemented
these
smoke-free
zones
in
children
play
areas.
B
It's
essentially
based
on
the
idea
that
the
there's
really
strong
evidence.
Children
who
grow
up
seeing
smoking
and
smoking
being
normal,
are
much
more
likely
to
smoke,
and
that
actually
is.
It
is
quite
well
evidenced,
internationally
and
and
nationally.
So
a
smoke-free
area
is
meant
to
be
a
supportive
measure.
B
We
we
want
to
cast
in
terms
of
inspiring
a
smoke-free
generation
in
york.
It's
not
meant
to
be
punitive,
but
it
is
meant
to
say
actually
for
the
good
of
the
children
that
are
using
this
park
on
a
day-to-day
basis
for
their
long-term
health.
You
not
smoking
in
this
area
really
helps
that
it
will
help
create
that
smoke,
regeneration,
smoke-free
norms
for
our
children
and
because
of
that
we're
going
to
designate
this
a
smoke-free
zone
and
smoking
won't
be
allowed
in
this
area.
So
that's
the
general
principle.
I
think.
A
Yeah
would
we
would
we
encourage
organizations
like
parish
councils
who
have
play
parks
to
do
the
same
and
perhaps
provide
them
with?
I
don't
know
posters,
perhaps
as
well
as
information.
That's.
B
Yeah,
absolutely
that's!
That's
exactly
what
we'd
like
to
do
if,
if
this
works
for
our
council
parks,
we'd
like
to
then
roll
that
out
a
bit
wider
and
and
support
the
the
organizations
that
you
mentioned
our
parish
councils
to
do
that
with
you
know
the
graphics
that
we've
used
on
our
posters
posters
themselves
and
and
answer
any
questions
they
might
have,
because
you
know
that
there
may
be
questions
about
you
know
what
how
well
does
this
go
down
with
the
with
residents
in
york?
Is
this
something
that's
generally
accepted?
B
Does
this
have
an
evidence
base
and
we
can
help
with
questions
like
that?
So
that's!
That's!
Probably
the
third
stage
after
the
first
stage
being
this
conversation
and
the
council
approving
it
that
the
second
stage
is
that
we
are
going
to
do
a
month-long
public
consultation
on
this
idea.
Obviously
it's
it's
bringing
something
of
a
a
new
rule
of
regulation
into
into
york.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
the
public
have
their
say
in
that
yes,
and
to
ask
a
really
simple
set
of
questions
about
how
much
people
support
this
idea
this
proposal
and
have
that
publicly
available
on
the
council's
website
on
the
consultation
portal,
so
people,
if
they,
if
they
feel
strongly
about
this,
can
have
their
say.
A
B
We
do
absolutely
and
we
are
going
to
be
advertising
it
through
parish
councils
to
war
councillors
directly,
and
we
have
a
number
of
friends
of
parks,
organizations
in
the
city
and,
I
think,
obviously,
with
their
remit.
That's
really
helpful
to
do.
I'd
also
encourage
anyone
watching
who
you
know
is
a
parent
of
young
children
or
feels
strongly
from
a
parental
point
of
view,
and
and
also
those
who
currently
smoke,
as
well
as
those
who
don't
smoke.
We
want
to
hear
all
their
voices.
A
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
people
around
who'd
like
to
stop
smoking
but,
as
you
say,
it's
very
very
difficult
and
they
might
well
support
our
initiative
and
respond
to
the
consultation.
When
will
that
consultation
start
and
stop,
do
you
know
yet.
A
Right
right,
that's
good,
so
it
gives
us
time
to
have
a
look
at
the
results.
I
do
know
that
the
health
and
wellbeing
board
which
I
chair
will
welcome
this
initiative
and
obviously
we
can
report
back
to
them
how
it's
going
and
what
the
response
is
are
any
other
matters
peter
that
you
wish
to
draw
to
my
attention
on
both
those
the
tobacco
control
plan
and
the
smokes
free
play
parks.
B
A
Good,
thank
you.
So
I've
considered
the
york
tobacco
control
plan
and
I'm
happy
to
have
it
adopted
by
the
council
and
I've
considered
and
agreed
an
introduction
of
voluntary
smoke
zones
subject
to
public
consultation,
and
I
will
look
forward
to
seeing
the
results
of
that
consultation
when
we
have
it.
Thank
you
very
much,
peter.
