Consignment - 50 Years since Smoking linked with Cancer 

50 Years since Smoking linked with Cancer

On 1st July 2007, England becomes the latest European country to ban smoking in public places, following such countries as Ireland, Spain, Italy, Norway and Scotland. This coincides with the 50th anniversary of the UK report that conclusively proved that smoking causes lung cancer, published by the UK Medical Research Council on 27th of June 1957. Despite the known health risks, smoking remains one of the biggest causes of premature death worldwide, killing several million annually.
