Smoking Cessation Services
Smoking in Public Places
From 6am on March 26, 2006, smoking was no longer allowed in the majority
of enclosed public places, including workplaces, to protect people from
the harmful effects of passive smoking.
Guidance has been compiled so that companies and organisations are
prepared when the ban takes effect and can be downloaded from this page
to be read online or printed out.
Samples of No Smoking signs which comply with the new law can also
be downloaded by clicking on document links below. Any further inquiries
should be directed to: info@clearingtheairscotland.com
Quit Smoking
70% of smokers in Scotland want to quit. However, tobacco is addictive
and many smokers find it difficult to stop smoking.

to find information on Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and links
to stop smoking support groups and resources, as well as information
on the dangers of passive smoking, and the links between tobacco and

voluntary organisation in tobacco control.
