Attitudes to smoking have changed dramatically over the past few decades and smoking prevalence among UK adults has dropped from nearly half of the population in the 1970s to around one-fifth today (Office for National Statistics, 2010). Tobacco packaging now comes with large graphic and textual warnings; smoking is prohibited by law in most enclosed public spaces; and there are dedicated NHS services to provide free support to help smokers who want to quit. We have come a long way since tobacco companies promoted their brand on billboards and newspapers.
在过去几十年里，人们对吸烟的态度发生了巨大变化，英国成年人的吸烟率已从20世纪70年代近一半的人口降至如今的五分之一左右（国家统计局，2010年）。现在的烟草包装带有大幅图形和文字警告；在大多数封闭的公共场所，吸烟被法律禁止；国民保健服务体系（NHS）设有专门服务，为想要戒烟的吸烟者提供免费支持。自从烟草公司在广告牌和报纸上推广其品牌以来，我们已经取得了长足的进步。
