In Northern Ireland, around 114,000 homes moved from permitting smoking to being smoke-free between 2012 and 2019, with 6 out of every 7 homes considered smoke-free by 2019. IPH conducted a Health Impact Assessment on the proposed Sugar Sweetened Drinks Tax in Ireland before it came into effect on water and juice-based drinks in May 2018.
