Complete ban on smoking at schools and hospital
SMOKING is to be banned at all States-owned schools and the hospital - even for those in their cars.
Published
From 1 October, smoking will not be permitted anywhere on sites that are owned or managed by Education or Health & Social Care.
Sites affected will include schools, the College of Further Education, Education's Grange premises and the hospital.
Arrangements are being put in place to help patients who smoke when they attend hospital.
Posters will be going up at all affected sites.
The move was announced by the Committees for Health & Social Care and Education, Sport & Culture yesterday, coinciding with World No Tobacco Day.
