New SARG research commissioned by @P_H_S_Official and published today has found that increasing the price of the cheapest tobacco products through minimum pricing could help to reduce smoking rates and improve health in Scotland
Modest estimates are that even a 60p minimum price would lead to 16,327 people stopping in the next ten years, plus 1,467 fewer hospital admissions, prevent 285 deaths, and add an additional 6,792 years of life to the Scottish population by 2034.
