Tobacco
This section gives information on NHS Health Scotland's tobacco programme. You'll also find links to tobacco research, learning, publications and related websites.
NHS Health Scotland's tobacco programme supports the implementation of the national action plan on tobacco control, 'A Breath of Fresh Air for Scotland'. Action on tobacco is focused on prevention and education, second-hand smoke, cessation, and protection and controls.
NHS Health Scotland supports all health boards to meet the Health Improvement, Efficiency, Access and Treatment (HEAT) target for smoking cessation.
To deliver universal smoking cessation services there needs to be at least 80,000 successful quits (7.5% of the smoking population) including 48,000 in the 40% most-deprived within-Board SIMD areas by March 2014.
