Smoking prevalence has fallen faster to reduce the geographical inequality the north suffered thanks to investment in tobacco control. So much more could be done with the proportionate amount of funding to the level of harm tobacco causes @SmokeHistoryGM @NHS_GM @GM_Cancer

The chances of developing prostate cancer are higher for: • black men • men over the age of 50 • or for those who have a family history of prostate, breast or ovarian cancer. If you fall into one of these groups you should speak to your GP. #GMProstateCancer
