By Alex KleidermanBBC News
Messages encouraging UK smokers to quit could be placed inside packets of cigarettes under draft proposals being considered by the government.

Deborah Arnott , chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health said: " It takes smokers on average 30 attempts before they succeed in stopping, so encouraging them to keep on trying is vital.
" Pack inserts do this by backing up the grim messages about death and disease on the outside with The Best advice about How To quit on The Inside . "
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: " Smoking places a huge burden on the NHS, economy and individuals.
" By taking action to reduce smoking rates and pursuing our ambition to be smoke free by 2030, we will reduce the pressure on the NHS and help people To Live healthier lives. "
