2015 : Minister Launches Smokefree Grounds Campaign

The Public Health minister launches the smokefree grounds campaign telling the public smoking on NHS grounds is drawing to a close. All NHS grounds across Scotland are to become smokefree by 31st March 2015. Patients, visitors and staff will be asked to wait until they are off NHS grounds before lighting up. This ambitious move is part of a national drive to create a tobacco-free generation within Scotland by 2034.
