The cost of smoking to the NHS
ASH poster on the cost of smoking to the NHS Smoking cost the NHS £2.7 billion annually; more than £50 million each week spent treating diseases caused by smoking. Each week smoking accounts for an estimated £20 million expenditure on hospital admissions, £4 million on outpatients, £10 million on GP consultations, £1 million on practice nurse consultations and £17 million in prescription costs. Assuming 1996 proportions of current and ex-smokers suggests an additional £380 million smoking cost to the NHS.

1. Advertising before the ban
This is a typical example of how tobacco advertising was commonly promoted at the Point of Sale before the regulations were implemented. Note the back-lit gantry (display unit) to maximise the visibility of the advertising. In addition to the large advertisement at the top of the gantry, the edges of the shelves also carried cigarette brand advertising.
