Despite mental health Trusts in England had developed and implemented smoke-free policies to meet national guidelines, adherence to these policies and provision of effective smoking cessation and temporary abstinence support for inpatients admitted to acute adult mental health wards appear to be limited. Patients who smoke on admission are likely to continue to do so during admission and after discharge, and only a very modest change in smoking behaviors appears to take place. Important opportunities to promote smoking cessation in this population are missed. Barriers to effective support need to be identified and addressed.
