- Title
Habit or addiction: the critical tension in deciding who should enforce hospital smoke-free policies.
- Authors
Lawn, Sharon
- Abstract
The author discusses the study on the effectiveness of smoke-free policies in psychiatry settings. She mentions that the finding is significant because the alteration in attitude that is essential for smoke-free policies needed to extend beyond the hospital door to be effective. She states that hospital staff needs to view themselves as an essential component of a bigger set of supports for smoking cessation. INSET: Key points.
