Local Toolkit

This page brings together key resources and guidance to support professionals working in local tobacco control. It should provide a good starting point for getting up to speed with the current landscape, the rationale for focusing on tobacco control and action to prioritise locally.

The following tool gathers regional public opinion on key issues in tobacco control and support for new measures.

This page brings together practical resources, case studies, and evidence for housing providers and local authorities who want to support tenants who smoke and help them quit.

The Local Government Declaration on Tobacco Control has been replaced by the Pledge for a Smokefree UK, launched in May 2026. We encourage organisations that signed the Declaration to also sign the Pledge to renew their commitment to ending the harm caused by smoking and other forms of tobacco. 

ASH has developed a series of resources designed to assist areas aiming to collaborate on tobacco control at a supra-local level.

The Smokefree Councillor Network is a cross-party group of elected members committed to achieving comprehensive local government action on tobacco and the elimination of the harm it causes in our communities.
