The Ten-Year Tobacco Control Strategy for Northern Ireland1 (‘the Strategy’) was launched in 2012 and had an overall aim to create a tobacco-free society. Following the completion and publication of a Mid-Term Review in 20202, the Strategy was extended until 2024 to allow for work on an End Review and progression of a successor strategy.

This End Review report reflects on the achievements and progress made over the lifetime of the Strategy. It also identifies remaining challenges and areas for further consideration in the development of the successor strategy. Given the short passage of time since the Mid-Term Review, and limited opportunities for implementation of recommendations made in that report, the Mid-Term Review recommendations should also be considered in conjunction with this report and in the development of a successor strategy (these recommendations are attached at Annex 2).
