It seems crazy that we still allow alcohol advertising....
Thats good but they deserve help as they fund nhs with the tax they pay
Headline should read : Hospital patients who smoke or drink to be helped to quit in England sayengland
And what if they don't want to stop smoking or drinking? Will they be forced to take NHS 'advice'? They're adults - they have a right to make their own choices.
Last time I was at a hospital was doctors and nurses smoking outside!
It 'seems' OK. The BBC, itself a hopeless 'nanny knows best' junkie gives minimal info on the proposed m.o. Then comes this 'Every contact.. ..with a patient is an opportunity to help the patient give up' Er? Even if they decline help, say, the first three times it's offered?
More emphasis should be placed on protecting children, whose negligent parents expose them to toxic, second-hand smoke.
More waist of NHS money.
And charge them £50 for hospital treatment
When you go into someone’s house who smokes - it stinks and you go out and people can smell the smoke on you for hours ....dirty disgusting thing - and they raise kids while smoking endlessly because they can and it’s their house thinking of themselves and not their kids
Good.
People will be given 'targeted advice' Can we have that in plain English, please !!!
Smart move
H o s p i t a l PATIENTS who have FAILED to get t h e i r CHILD V A C C I N A T E D SPECIAL R E e d u c a t i o n CAMPS for THEM
I found having a Mortgage 2 kids, Rates,Gas, Car,Petrol,Water Rates and a Wife helped me quit everything .... Hope that helps
Once saw a cancer patient who had to breathe through her throat smoking with the smoke puffing from the hole in her neck. I wish I could be as non judgemental as the staff who treated her!
All this nannying is driving me to drink.
how are they drinking in hospital?
Will only work if they want to quit
Hospital helped me quit smoking after a Stroke 9 years ago it worked👌
Dr's & nurses should also be made to stop smoking & drinking too many preach to patients when they themselves are as bad
How about funding smoking/drinking cessation nationally, so that fewer people end up in hospital in the first place? quitsmoking
This is part of a whole series of NHS initiatives aimed at prevention rather than cure. This is the future for the NHS and my congratulations to those who thought of these plans.
