| Summary: | "This report draws on substantial evidence to highlight the plight of smokers with mental disorders, and reveals that only a minority of people from this group receive effective smoking cessation interventions by the NHS. This causes major reduction in their life expectancy and quality of life, exacerbates poverty and presents huge economic costs to the NHS and wider society. The report covers the incidence of smoking in people with mental health disorders; cessation interventions; smoking in special circumstances such as forensic psychiatric services, secure units and prisons; costs to the NHS; and the ethical and legal aspects of smoking in people with mental health disorders."--Publisher's website. |
