Alert Warning
Tobacco Free Policy
This Smoke-free Policy prohibits smoking in Trust premises i.e. buildings, grounds and Trust vehicles.
The Trust is committed to positively promoting health and wellbeing for all and providing an environment conducive to giving up smoking and ensure that service users and staff who want to give up smoking receive the necessary support.
We will provide treatment to smokers who wish to quit and support smokers who do not want to quit to temporarily abstain from smoking whilst in Trust buildings or grounds.
The Policy complies with Smoke-free legislation (Health Act, 2006), and is aligned to NICE Guideline.
The Policy provides a clear and consistent message that smoking and passive smoking kills and causes disease, and as such will no longer be permitted in Trust buildings.
Staff, visitors and contractors are not permitted to smoke on any Trust premises.
The policy will reduce the risk of fires being started by smoking.
