We know that stopping smoking is difficult, and while research shows that the majority of smokers affected by mental illness want to quit, many people aren't offered the right support.

One of the pilot projects currently being evaluated within the Innovation Network looks at how people are supported to stop smoking in different types of mental health service. During this evaluation, many Mental Health Trusts have gone smoke-free, with more to come during 2016. Today is No Smoking Day and we asked ASH to talk about some of the work they’ve been doing over the last few months around smoking and mental health.
