Tobacco first came to Britain in the 16th Century, but smoking as a mass habit is a phenomenon of the 20th/21st Century.
Smoking is the single greatest cause of preventable illness and premature death in the United Kingdom; it kills around 120,000 people in the UK alone every year. That equates to 13 people an hour.
It has been estimated that treating illness and disease caused by smoking is costing the National Health up to £1.7 billion every year.
