over 880,000 people lose their lives every year because of smoking um that's a preventable death it's a huge burden on the NHS and of course it's a burden on the taxpayer so yes we are going to take decisions in this space more details will be revealed but this is a preventable uh series of deaths and we've got to take the action to reduce the burden on the NHS and reduce the burden on the taxpayer I think it's important to get the balance right but everybody watching this who uses the NHS will know that it's on its knees uh we have to relieve the burden and that's why I spoke before the election about moving to a preventative model when it comes to health I want the NHS back on its feet but I also want it fit for the next you know 75 years just as we've had a a brilliant 75 years um already um and that means taking action in relation to preventable uh deaths and these are 880,000 a year preventable deaths
