4 1 INTRODUCTION Tobacco smoking is an addictive habit which remains the biggest single preventable cause of ill health, disability and early death in Lanarkshire and Scotland as a whole. Second hand smoke also causes lung cancer and ischaemic heart disease. Children are particularly vulnerable and exposure in childhood is associated with a range of illness. NHS Lanarkshire has a responsibility to work towards national targets for reductions in the prevalence of smoking and the incidence of diseases caused by tobacco smoke. Around 30% of adults in Lanarkshire smoke with the prevalence significantly higher in areas of deprivation. Smoking rates amongst specific populations, such as people with mental health problems and young pregnant women, are of particular concern. The Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act came into force on 26 March 2006, banning smoking in enclosed public places such as workplaces, pubs and restaurants. The new 5 year Tobacco Control Strategy for Scotland Creating a Tobacco Free Generation was published in The strategy outlines a number of challenges most notably that NHS Boards should be exemplars in providing smoke free environments. NHS Boards should also consider enforcement measures, exercising mandatory Health & Safety requirements where appropriate. The strategy also highlights that staff should be trained in awareness raising and enforcement skills, and staff, patients and visitors should have access to specialist Smoking Cessation Services. Awareness raising regarding smoke free grounds should include advice and support on managing temporary abstinence. The NICE Public Health Guidance Smoking Cessation in Secondary Care: Acute, Maternity and Mental Health services support Smoking Cessation, temporary abstinence from smoking and smoke free policies. Indeed its recommendations are based on the following principles; Strong leadership and management will ensure secondary care premises (including grounds) remain consistently smoke free. Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 4 of 16
5 Delivery of behavioural interventions and pharmacotherapy to support abstinence from smoking, at least while using secondary care services, is an integral component of secondary care provision. Secondary care smoking interventions are integrated with those provided in the community, to ensure continuity of care when patients move between primary and secondary care. Behavioural support for managing temporary abstinence is available for all staff and for those who wish to stop pharmacotherapy is also available. No concessions are made to smoking in secondary care, that is, there are no designated smoking areas, no exceptions for particular groups, and no staff supervised and facilitated smoking breaks for people in their care. NHS Lanarkshire's March 2006 No Smoking Policy was developed to improve indoor air quality in accordance with the requirements of the legislation. The No Smoking Policy was revised in August 2008 extending the earlier policy to cover all NHS Lanarkshire premises, both grounds and buildings. The policy was reviewed in This included consultation with staff, patients and the public. NHS Lanarkshire remains committed to the provision of a smoke free environment and will continue to strive towards having completely smoke free hospital grounds. 2 AIM, PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES 2.1 General It is tobacco smoke and its effects on those using it or exposed to it that is the problem rather than the people who smoke. People who smoke have the right to exercise an informed choice to smoke, except where that choice compromises NHS Lanarkshire's legal and moral responsibility to ensure a smoke free environment. 2.2 Protecting and improving health Tobacco smoke in the environment is a health hazard to both smokers and non-smokers. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the provision of a smoke free indoor and outdoor environment for all patients, staff and members of the public working in or on, or visiting NHS Lanarkshire premises. It aims to protect health by preventing involuntary exposure to second hand smoke. NHS Lanarkshire is committed to promoting healthy living and non-smoking as its normal culture. It will do this by establishing a smoke-free environment for all and offering support to those who wish to give up smoking or who are required to temporary abstain from smoking whilst in hospital. Patients who cannot or choose not to stop smoking should be offered advice and pharmacological aid on admission. Every effort will be made to assist patients with temporary abstinence and for those who wish to quit this will include a referral to smoking cessation services. Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 5 of 16
6 2.3 Legislation NHS Lanarkshire must comply with the Public Health (the Prohibition of Smoking in certain premises) Regulation 2006 which makes it illegal to smoke in public places and in vehicles other than private cars. NHS Lanarkshire is responsible under British and European 1 employment law to: maintain a safe and healthy working environment; protect the health of patients and staff, and not subject them to hazardous environments and materials; and make sure that staff understand their responsibilities to look after the health and safety of others. 2.4 Quality Healthcare Services NHS Lanarkshire aims to provide the highest quality healthcare services. Complaints have been received about the smoking outside NHS Lanarkshire premises and consultation has highlighted the extent of these concerns. This policy aims to improve the environment offered to staff and the public by ensuring smoke-free premises and grounds. 3 SCOPE 3.1 Who is the Policy intended to Affect This policy is intended for: All directly employed staff of NHS Lanarkshire, in respective of age, sex, disability, ethnicity/race, marital or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, religion or belief, pregnancy, maternity or gender reassignment. Patients; including out-patients, day cases, in-patients and long-stay patients; Visitors; and The wider NHS family (i.e. contractors, students, voluntary staff, other healthcare partners and anyone whose work, study or personal circumstances brings them into contact with NHS Lanarkshire) 3.2 Who are the Stakeholders All NHS Lanarkshire staff, regardless of staff group or designation; Patients, including out-patients, day cases, in-patients and long-stay patients; Visitors; and 1 European workplace regulations require employers to carry out written risk assessment. The risk posed to staff from tobacco smoke (from all sources, including staff, patients or visitors) and associated fire risks should be assessed and minimised. Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 6 of 16
7 The wider NHS family (i.e. contractors, students, voluntary staff, other healthcare partners and anyone whose work, study or personal circumstances brings them into contact with NHS Lanarkshire) 4 PRINCIPAL CONTENT 4.1 The Policy Smoking is not permitted by any persons including staff, patients, visitors and healthcare partners within the premises or on the grounds from which NHS Lanarkshire services are delivered. Smoking is not permitted within vehicles parked on these premises. Smoking is not permitted within NHS Lanarkshire vehicles and pool cars at any time. Smoking is not permitted in leased cars and personal vehicles when transporting other staff or patients within working hours and/or when on authorised business. Any person found smoking in uniform or wearing a hospital ID badge may be subject to disciplinary action being taken against them. In line with NHS Lanarkshire's desire for active discouragement of tobacco use, tobacco products will not be sold, advertised or otherwise promoted on the premises. NHS Lanarkshire will not hold tobacco-related investments or accept sponsorship or donations from tobacco companies. 4.2 Staff and Healthcare Partners Staff and healthcare partners are not permitted to smoke whilst at work. Staff on authorised breaks are not considered to be at work. If staff wish to smoke at this time they must leave the premises to do so. This applies equally to all staff, and any such action is the responsibility of the individual member of staff. Smokers will not be allowed longer or more frequent breaks than non-smoking members of staff. NHS staff must observe the uniform policy and should not smoke when wearing a uniform or a name badge identifying them as a member of staff. Staff should consider the example they set to patients if seen smoking. 4.3 Exemptions The Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 allows some legal exemptions to smoking in enclosed public places which are listed in The Prohibition of Smoking in Certain Premises (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and any subsequent amended versions of it. In order to maximise health improvement for NHS Lanarkshire staff and clients, our policy extends beyond these legal requirements. At present the following exempted categories apply within NHS Lanarkshire: Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 7 of 16
8 Designated rooms 2 in adult care homes. Some long stay patients, for whom NHS facilities are their homes, come in to these categories. When the NHS facilities are considered to be their homes these patients are currently subject to legal exemptions. While they continue to be exempt their choice to smoke will be acknowledged by designated smoking rooms, but designated rooms will only be provided where space permits, with priority being given to the provision of a nonsmoking common room. NHS Lanarkshire will provide these inpatients with specialist stop smoking support if desired. 4.4 Exposure of staff to second hand smoke at work NHS Lanarkshire recognizes its duty of care to its staff with regard to second hand smoke, and staff s professional duty of care to their patients and to themselves. This policy reflects these duties of care when possible NHS premises Staff may occasionally be exposed under the current exemptions outlined in 4.3 above to second hand smoke. Where reasonably practical, staff should not normally be required to work in these designated smoking rooms. If they do enter them their time of exposure to second hand smoke should be kept to a minimum. Staff with pre-existing conditions known to be exacerbated by second hand smoke should not be asked to enter them at all. As far as reasonably practical, and taking into account staff s professional responsibilities toward their patients, staff are entitled to refuse to enter designated smoking rooms Patients own homes In order to protect staff who visit patients in their own homes, patients and their families, will be requested not to smoke for the duration of the visit and for an hour beforehand. Where patients and their families repeatedly ignore such requests, staff will be entitled to discuss alternative care arrangements with their line managers including, when feasible, to visit them at another agreed and smoke free location. A Smoking and Home Visits leaflet is available from the Health Improvement Library or available to download via the Stop Smoking Service page on Firstport this leaflet should be given to the patient prior to the first visit. If this is not practical this information should be communicated to the patient during the first visit. 4.5 Support for smokers Staff 2 The Regulations state that a 'designated room' must have 'a ventilation system that does not ventilate into any other part of the no smoking premises in question (except any other designated rooms)'. Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 8 of 16
9 NHS Lanarkshire are committed to support staff who want to stop smoking. Staff who are unwilling or unable to stop smoking completely should be encouraged to use NRT products to help them abstain while at work or in Uniform. Staff who smoke will be encouraged to seek support to quit. The Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service provides free specialist 1:2:1 support and groups. These are held in the community throughout Lanarkshire at different times of the day. In order to support staff who want to stop smoking, specialist stop smoking support will be provided on acute hospital sites. Support may also be obtained from Community Pharmacies In-patients Written information on this policy will be provided to all planned care patients before they are admitted to hospital. All inpatients will be asked as part of their admission procedures about their smoking status. If they smoke or have quit in the last four weeks the health professional concerned will follow the Integrated Care Pathway. In accordance with the ICP staff should; Provide brief advice about the benefits of stopping and arrange nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) where appropriate to reduce withdrawal symptoms resulting from this policy. Offer to refer inpatients who wish to stop to the Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service in hospital. Outline the policy, clarifying that smoking is not permitted anywhere on hospital premises and grounds. Document advice given and actions taken. Training on brief intervention for smoking cessation in order to help patients, staff, friends and family will be provided through the Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service and may be requested by any member of staff. During their stay inpatients who have initially chosen not to quit should be reassessed regularly and offered a referral to the Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service in hospital, or on discharge to the Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service in the community Outpatients and members of the public Access to specialist support to quit smoking is available from the Lanarkshire Stop Smoking Service located in sites across NHS Lanarkshire health board area. The Stop Smoking Service telephone number is Alternatively text Advice to or access further information on-line at Assistance is also available from community pharmacies and GP practices across Lanarkshire, and from the national Smokeline (telephone number ).

10 4.6 Sanctions Smoking in breach of legislation (in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces) Any person smoking in an enclosed space as defined by the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 and its associated Regulations are breaking the law and may be liable to a fixed penalty of 50 imposed by the external agencies legally responsible for its implementation. The Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 allows the agencies charged with enforcing the Act to impose fines on the manager, or any other person in control of any no smoking premises, for allowing others to smoke within them. This applies whether or not the person is aware that smoking has occurred. It should be noted that the Director of Acute Services or other senior management staff could face prosecution by the courts because of the actions of others. Any person smoking within a building should be made aware that they are committing an offence, be politely asked to stop smoking. All incidents should be recorded on a Datix Incident Form. If a member of staff feels unable to approach the smoker they must report the matter to their line manager. If the person is member of staff; o The person should be advised that they are breaking the law and reminded about NHS Lanarkshire s No Smoking Policy. o The line manager of the staff member committing the offence should be informed and the incident investigated. o Disciplinary proceedings may be invoked as a result. If the person is a patient; o They should be advised that they are breaking the Law and reminded of the NHS Lanarkshire No Smoking Policy. o Alternatives should be considered as described in section 5.2. Patients should be made aware that repeated breaches of the legislation could affect the ability of NHS Lanarkshire to continue providing them care on healthcare premises. In some cases this may require an exploration of how the needs of the patient may be met in light of the legal requirements and will require written confirmation to the patient. If the patient is, at the time of inappropriately smoking, unable to recognise their actions as being unlawful or in breach of NHS policy then other means of compliance must be explored at the first opportunity. If the person is a visitor/relative; o They should be advised that they are breaking the Law and reminded of the NHS Lanarkshire No Smoking Policy; If the person carries on smoking they should be asked to leave the premises and advised that the police will be called Smoking in breach of policy Version No.6 09/12/2013 Page 10 of 16
11 Any member of staff found smoking during paid working time or in uniform or wearing a hospital ID badge may be subject to disciplinary action being taken against them. Staff breaching policy may be subject to procedures within NHS Lanarkshire's Policy and Procedures for the Effective Management of Employee Conduct. Managers are reminded that support for employees to comply with the policy is available and should form part of any agreed action plan. Where this breach involves a patient their ward should be informed, where possible, and they should be offered support and advice as outlined in Signage NHS Lanarkshire will display no smoking signs both internally and externally on all its premises and vehicles. Signs at the entrances to premises will be visible to pedestrians and drivers as they approach the premises. Signage at the entrance and within buildings will comply with the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act Signs will display the job title of who should be contacted with complaints or information about people observed smoking on the premises. 4.8 Electronic cigarettes The electronic cigarette or e-cigarette is a battery operated nicotine vapour inhaler device. Due to insufficient evidence on both the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes as cessation/nicotine maintenance NHS Lanarkshire have prohibited use of e-cigarettes within NHS Lanarkshire premises and grounds. This position will be reviewed as evidence and national guidance becomes available. 5 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 5.1 NHS Lanarkshire Chief Executive The Chief Executive is responsible for ensuring that this policy is fully supported by all staff and that there are sufficient resources available to enable its full implementation. 5.2 Site General Managers On each site the General Managers are required to: Implement this policy and ensure their staff are aware and follow the policy.
