They would list the health and financial benefits of quitting and the support available in the UK.
Messages encouraging UK smokers to quit could be placed inside packets of cigarettes under draft proposals being considered by the government.
The inserts would list the health and financial benefits of trying to stop and highlight support available, the Department of Health said.According to the NHS, about 76,000 people in the UK die from smoking every year. The numbers of smokers in the UK are at their lowest on record but about six million people, or 13% of the population, are still thought to have the habit,
The government has pledged to end smoking in England by 2030, equating to reducing smoking rates to 5% or less of the population. Earlier this year experts predicted that target would be missed without further action.The Department of Health said inserts inside cigarette packets could include information about the money that could be saved by giving up smoking as well as the potential improvements to health.
It said an evaluation of the impact in Canada found that smokers exposed to the inserts were significantly more likely to try to give up.
