Tobacco Strategic Plan for the North East of Scotland
NHS Grampian and partners Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Health and Social Care Partnerships, have created a new Tobacco Strategic Plan for the North East of Scotland. This aims to support partnership working and have a greater impact on reducing tobacco-related harm by accelerating reduction in smoking rates to an ambitious national goal of 5% by 2034. This will help to protect future generations from the many health problems caused by smoking and make smoking cessation support even more easily available.
The strategy focuses work on 6 priority areas with actions laid out for all.
These areas are:
- Accessible and effective Smoking Cessation Services
- Creating and supporting smoke and vape free environments
- Pregnant women who smoke and their families
- Young people, particularly those who are vulnerable and living in poverty
- Smoking and Mental Health
- People within the Community Justice System
