NHS 'tobacco free' campaign launched by Public Health England A "truly tobacco-free NHS" needs to be created to help smoker patients quit their habit, health officials say.
Only one in 10 hospitals enforces a smoking ban outside health service buildings, and Public Health England (PHE) wants all hospitals to offer help to quit as part of patients' treatment.
More than a million smokers are admitted to NHS hospitals every year.
PHE chief executive Duncan Selbie said it was not about "forcing people" to quit, but was about "helping people". BBC News
